A slim, right-slanted script with long ascenders and descenders and a noticeably small x-height. Strokes feel pen-drawn with smooth, tapered terminals and occasional hairline entry/exit strokes, producing a light, airy color on the page. Many letters use open counters and gentle loops, and the rhythm is quick and continuous, with subtle baseline bounce and varied letter widths that keep words flowing rather than rigidly aligned.
This style suits short, expressive text where personality matters: invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and social media graphics. It also works well for headlines and pull quotes when set with generous spacing and paired with a quieter text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat signature writing. Its delicate strokes and looping forms read as romantic and refined, with a lively, informal energy that stays more elegant than casual.
The design appears intended to capture a polished handwritten look—fluid and decorative, yet legible enough for display use. It emphasizes motion, elegance, and a signature-like character through tall proportions, looping joins, and fine stroke endings.
Capitals are tall and showy, often built from single sweeping strokes that set up a strong forward motion at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with slender forms and occasional curl-like terminals that match the script’s swashy tendencies.
