A delicate, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes taper to fine hairlines and finish in teardrop-like terminals, with occasional swashes on capitals and select ascenders/descenders. Letterforms are generally narrow with open counters, a gentle baseline bounce, and a rhythmic alternation of entry and exit strokes; connections are suggested in running text, while individual glyphs still read cleanly when isolated. Numerals follow the same pen-driven logic, mixing simple forms with subtle curves and light finishing strokes.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for short headlines, pull quotes, and social graphics, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels refined and personable, like careful handwriting done with a flexible nib. Flourished capitals and looping joins add a romantic, slightly playful character without becoming overly ornate. The lightness and airy spacing give it a soft, graceful presence.
The design appears intended to emulate refined cursive handwriting with flexible-nib contrast, balancing readability with decorative flourish. Its narrow, looping construction and expressive capitals suggest a focus on creating an elevated, personal signature-like feel for display-oriented typography.
Capitals show the most expressiveness, with decorative loops and occasional extended cross-strokes. Lowercase forms lean on simple, single-storey structures and frequent curved joins, which creates a smooth flow in phrases. The small interior details and hairline joins suggest best results at moderate-to-large sizes where the contrast can remain crisp.
