A delicate, slanted cursive with a calligraphic, pen-and-ink feel. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with tapered entries and exits and occasional sharp, brushlike terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall with long ascenders and descenders, and the rhythm is fluid, with many characters linking naturally through sweeping connectors and looped bowls. Capitals are especially expressive, featuring large swashes and open curves, while figures are slender and slightly angled to match the script’s flow.
Well-suited for wedding and event stationery, boutique branding, and product packaging where a refined handwritten impression is desired. It also works effectively for short headlines, pull quotes, and nameplates, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and swashes can read clearly.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, evoking handwritten notes, formal invitations, and fashion-forward branding. Its airy spacing and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication, while the lively loops keep it personable rather than rigidly formal.
Designed to capture the elegance of quick, confident calligraphy—balancing expressive capitals and looping cursive forms with a consistent, flowing rhythm. The narrow, tall proportions and tapered strokes aim to deliver a polished, upscale handwritten look for display-oriented typography.
Several glyphs lean into signature-style gestures, with extended upstrokes and occasional crossover strokes that create a dynamic texture in words. The most decorative capitals and long descenders can become prominent in tight line spacing, so it benefits from generous leading and room to breathe.
