A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and calligraphic contrast between hairlines and thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight sidebearings, creating an elongated rhythm and a narrow overall texture. Strokes taper sharply into fine terminals, with frequent loops and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that give capitals and select lowercase forms a swashy feel. The baseline is mostly steady but retains subtle handwritten irregularity, and the numerals echo the same slender, flowing construction.
Well suited to wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works effectively for short headlines, logos, and packaging accents, particularly when paired with a simple serif or sans for supporting text.
The font conveys a graceful, romantic tone—polished yet personable—like a careful handwritten note or formal signature. Its airy hairlines and looping forms add a soft, expressive quality without becoming overly playful, making it feel refined and intimate.
Designed to emulate a refined, calligraphy-influenced handwriting style with an emphasis on slender proportions, flowing connections, and expressive capitals. The overall construction prioritizes grace and motion, giving text a signature-like presence for display-oriented applications.
Capitals are especially expressive, with generous curves and occasional flourished cross-strokes that can create distinctive silhouettes at the start of words. The contrast and fine details suggest it will read best with comfortable letterspacing and at sizes where hairlines don’t disappear in reproduction.
