A flowing script with slender strokes and an overall rightward slant. Letterforms are built from long, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional extended terminals, giving the line a smooth handwritten rhythm. Uppercase shapes are larger and more expressive, often with looped constructions and sweeping arms, while the lowercase is compact with a notably low x-height and tall ascenders that create a vertical, laddered texture. Spacing is relatively open for a script, and the numerals follow the same graceful, handwritten logic with simple, lightly looped forms.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique and beauty branding, packaging labels, and pull quotes. It performs best at larger sizes where the fine strokes and looping terminals have room to breathe, and where the expressive capitals can set a graceful tone.
The tone feels refined and personable, combining casual handwriting warmth with a dressy, signature-like polish. Its gentle loops and elongated strokes evoke invitations, personal notes, and boutique branding rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to mimic a neat, stylized handwriting hand with a graceful slant and signature-like continuity. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and motion—using loops, long terminals, and a low x-height to create a delicate, upscale script presence for display typography.
Stroke modulation appears subtle, with a slightly calligraphic feel coming more from curvature and terminal shaping than from heavy contrast. Connections are fluid in running text, but individual letters retain distinct silhouettes, helping the script stay legible while still feeling ornamental.
