A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes that give words a continuous rhythm. Strokes are delicate with sharp, calligraphic tapers and occasional thicker downstrokes, producing a refined, pen-written texture. Capitals are expressive and oversized with generous loops and extended swashes, while lowercase forms are compact with a very small x-height, tall ascenders, and long descenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with light, angled forms and open counters.
Best suited for short to medium settings where its swashes and lively rhythm can be appreciated—such as wedding suites, invitations, logos, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial or social headlines. It can work in pull quotes or brief phrases, but the small x-height and elaborate capitals favor display use over dense body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, suggesting personal correspondence and polished, handwritten charm. Its airy construction and calligraphic movement read as upscale and romantic rather than casual or rugged.
Designed to emulate elegant penmanship with a focus on expressive capitals, graceful connections, and calligraphic contrast, aiming for a polished handwritten signature look in display typography.
Connections between letters appear natural but not rigidly uniform, creating a lively, hand-drawn cadence. The long ascenders/descenders and swashy capitals add strong personality, but also make spacing and line height feel more generous in text settings.
