A lively handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with fine hairline entrances and exits and heavier downstrokes that create a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are loosely connected with frequent breaks, using long ascenders/descenders and occasional extended crossbars and swashes to add motion. Counters are open and the overall texture remains light on the page, with a slightly irregular hand-drawn cadence that still feels cohesive.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, and event collateral where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It also works for boutique branding, packaging, and social graphics, especially in short headlines, signatures, and pull quotes where its contrast and loops can be appreciated.
The font reads as graceful and personable, balancing elegance with an informal, handwritten charm. Its looping strokes and high-contrast gesture give it a romantic, boutique tone—decorative without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to emulate modern calligraphy with a breezy, handwritten flow—prioritizing expressive rhythm, tall proportions, and dramatic thick–thin strokes for stylish display use.
Uppercase forms tend to be more expressive, with taller structures and subtle flourishes that can increase word-shape variety. Spacing appears naturally uneven in a handwritten way, and some characters rely on delicate hairlines, which can visually soften at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
