A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from fine, hairline-like curves with occasional sharper turns, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm without heavy shading. Capitals are tall and open with sweeping loops and extended strokes, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and simplified joins; overall spacing is loose and flowing, with many letters able to connect naturally. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, using slender strokes and generous curves.
Well-suited to signature-style logotypes, invitations and stationery, wedding materials, beauty/fashion branding, and short display lines where the looping capitals can shine. It performs best in headlines, names, and brief phrases rather than dense paragraphs, and benefits from generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and intimate, like quick formal handwriting with a fashion-forward lightness. Its thin strokes and looping forms give it a refined, romantic feel, while the slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm keeps it personal rather than rigidly formal.
The design appears intended to capture a refined handwritten signature look—light, swift, and expressive—while keeping letterforms consistent enough for repeated use in branding and elegant display typography.
The script relies on long ascenders/descenders and extended swashes in many capitals, which can create dramatic word silhouettes and occasional overlaps in tight settings. The very fine strokes and open, linear construction suggest it will read best when given ample size and breathing room, especially in print or on high-contrast screens.
