A delicate, slanted script with long, tapering entry and exit strokes and a consistently fine line weight. Letterforms are built from narrow ovals and sweeping curves, with frequent open loops in capitals and in letters like g, y, and z. Strokes show a smooth, continuous rhythm and a handwritten baseline that gently wavers, while spacing remains tight and streamlined. Numerals follow the same flowing, pen-drawn logic, favoring simple curves and extended terminals over rigid geometry.
Well-suited to signature-style logotypes, boutique branding, and wedding or event stationery where an airy, sophisticated script is desired. It also works for short display phrases on packaging or social graphics, especially at larger sizes where the fine strokes and looping details remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, evoking personal notes and polished signatures rather than everyday handwriting. Its slender strokes and generous flourishes lend a romantic, fashion-forward feel, with a hint of whimsy from the exaggerated loops and long ascenders/descenders.
Designed to mimic quick, confident pen lettering with a polished, upscale finish. The intent appears to prioritize elegance and personal character through narrow proportions, smooth cursive joins, and expressive swashes—especially in the uppercase—over long-form text neutrality.
Capitals are notably flamboyant, with oversized swashes that can dominate short words and create a strong signature effect. The very small lowercase body relative to the tall extenders gives lines a lacy texture and increases the importance of leading and word spacing for comfortable reading.
