A flowing cursive script with a fine hairline baseline and pronounced thick–thin modulation that mimics a pointed-pen gesture. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders/descenders, frequent entry/exit strokes, and occasional swash-like terminals. Strokes show a consistent diagonal slant and a slightly springy rhythm, with rounded bowls and narrow counters that keep the texture light and shimmering in text. Capitals are more decorative and looped, while lowercase forms are simplified and compact with small, understated dots and minimal interruption between letters in word settings.
Best suited for display applications such as invitations, wedding or event stationery, boutique branding, packaging accents, and short headlines where its thin strokes and decorative capitals can be appreciated. It also works well for signature-style wordmarks and pull quotes when set with comfortable size and contrast.
The overall tone is graceful and romantic, with a refined handwritten character that feels personal without becoming messy. Its high-contrast curves and looping capitals suggest a formal, celebratory mood suited to elegant messaging.
Designed to emulate an elegant handwritten script with calligraphic contrast and a flowing connection between letters, prioritizing charm and sophistication over utilitarian readability. The emphasis on tall proportions and looping capitals suggests an intent for prominent, name-forward typography in refined contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the internal shapes are narrow, creating a delicate, vertical cadence; this makes small sizes more prone to stroke drop-out and invites use at display scales. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender forms and subtle curls that harmonize with the letters.
