A refined cursive script with hairline-thin entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions that mimic pointed-pen pressure. The letterforms are steeply slanted with long, sweeping ascenders and descenders, plus generous loops on forms like g, y, and z. Capitals are tall and decorative, often beginning with extended lead-in strokes, while lowercase shapes stay compact and rhythmic with tight bowls and narrow counters. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, using slender strokes and gentle curves for a cohesive, continuous texture in words.
Well-suited to short, prominent settings such as invitations, wedding collateral, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also works as an accent script for headlines or pull quotes when paired with a sturdy serif or sans for body text.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, leaning toward formal romance rather than casual note-taking. Its light, flowing motion suggests softness and sophistication, giving text a polished handwritten charm.
Designed to capture the elegance of modern calligraphy in a clean digital script, prioritizing flowing connections, stylish capitals, and a light, upscale presence for display typography.
Stroke joins are smooth and continuous, with occasional long cross strokes and terminal flicks that add movement. Spacing appears intentionally airy, letting the thin strokes breathe while maintaining a consistent cursive cadence across longer lines.
