A delicate cursive with a right-leaning, fast handwritten rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to hairline entry and exit points, with occasional teardrop terminals and looping joins that keep words feeling connected even when letters are loosely linked. Ascenders are tall and prominent, descenders are long and curvy, and many capitals feature generous swashes that extend above and below the line. Overall spacing is compact and lively, with letters that vary naturally in width and show a slightly bouncy baseline typical of pen-driven forms.
Best suited to display applications such as invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, and boutique-style logos where its swashy capitals and fine contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for short phrases and pull quotes in editorial or social media graphics, rather than dense small-size text.
The font conveys a polished, personable warmth—graceful and romantic without feeling rigidly formal. Its looping strokes and tall, airy proportions give it a light, expressive tone suited to invitations and boutique branding, while the crisp contrast keeps it feeling refined.
Designed to emulate an elegant, pen-written cursive with calligraphic contrast and decorative capitals, prioritizing flourish and rhythm over strict uniformity. The overall intent appears to be a stylish, romantic script that feels personal and handcrafted while remaining clean and legible in short settings.
Capitals tend to be more decorative than the lowercase, with distinctive loop constructions that can draw attention in initials and short headings. The numerals follow the same pen-script logic with curved, open forms and thin hairline turns, blending well in text but reading best at moderate sizes where the fine strokes don’t disappear.
