A flowing, cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a delicate, pointed pen feel. Strokes show sharp contrast with tapered entries and exits, producing hairline connections and thicker downstrokes, plus occasional ink-trap-like thins at joins. Letterforms are compact and tall, with long ascenders and descenders, open bowls, and frequent looped structures; spacing is irregular in a natural handwriting rhythm, and word shapes can look slightly angular where strokes break or lift. Capitals are more expressive, featuring extended lead-in strokes and swashy curves that give headings a strong, signature-like silhouette.
Well-suited to short, prominent text where its swashy capitals and tapered strokes can be appreciated—such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and cosmetic or fragrance packaging. It also works as a signature-style accent in editorial layouts (pull quotes, bylines, or small headings), but benefits from generous sizing and spacing to preserve clarity in continuous text.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, balancing formality with a human, handwritten warmth. Its airy hairlines and looping gestures suggest romance and polish, while the slightly lively rhythm keeps it from feeling rigid or overly formal.
Designed to evoke a handwritten, calligraphic signature with elegant contrast and expressive capitals, prioritizing personality and flourish over utilitarian neutrality. The construction emphasizes pen movement—tapered terminals, looping joins, and rhythmic stroke modulation—to create refined, decorative word shapes.
Numerals and lowercase share the same slanted, pen-driven construction, with noticeable variation in stroke pressure that enhances the handcrafted impression. The most distinctive character comes from the elongated capitals and the thin connective strokes, which create a lightweight, floating texture in longer lines.
