A delicate handwritten script with slender, high-contrast strokes and an overall upright stance. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height that gives the lowercase a compact, tucked-in feel. Strokes taper to hairline terminals, and many characters include gentle entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes, creating a lively rhythm. Spacing and widths vary across the alphabet, reinforcing an organic, hand-drawn flow while maintaining consistent curvature and smooth joins in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its fine strokes and flourishes can remain clear, such as wedding suites, boutique logos, product labels, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It also works well for pull quotes or name treatments when ample size and contrast are available.
The tone is graceful and lightly playful, mixing formal calligraphic cues with an informal hand-lettered bounce. It reads as romantic and boutique-oriented rather than strictly traditional, with flourishes that add charm without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate a neat, refined hand with calligraphic influence—prioritizing elegance, tall proportions, and flowing movement for expressive display typography. The letterforms aim to balance legibility with personality through restrained swashes and consistent, graceful curves.
Uppercase forms tend to be taller and more decorative, with several letters featuring extended curves and loop-like finishes that can stand out in initials. Numerals are similarly slender and stylized, favoring elegant arcs over rigid geometry, which helps them blend with the script texture in display settings.
