A delicate, calligraphy-inspired script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms are narrow and tall with long ascenders and descenders, and many glyphs feature looped entries, teardrop terminals, and occasional swash-like strokes. Curves are smooth and elastic, while spacing feels intentionally uneven in a handwritten way, producing a bouncy rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are more expressive and elongated than the lowercase, and figures are simple, lightly stylized, and consistent with the pen-drawn construction.
Well suited to wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, and romantic editorial headlines where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It also fits boutique branding and packaging—especially beauty, florals, and artisanal goods—when used for logos, labels, and short display lines rather than dense text.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, mixing refinement with a playful, handwritten charm. Its looping strokes and airy color give it a romantic, boutique feel that reads as friendly rather than formal.
Designed to emulate a modern pointed-pen handwriting style with expressive capitals and gentle flourishes, prioritizing personality and elegance in display settings. The narrow, elongated proportions and high stroke contrast aim to create a light, upscale impression while keeping an informal, human cadence.
Connections between letters appear to vary—some pairs feel more joined while others separate—reinforcing an organic, pen-on-paper character. Thin hairlines and small interior counters suggest it will look best when given breathing room and not set too small.
