A delicate handwritten script with slender, tapering strokes and noticeably looped construction. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a light baseline presence, frequent entry/exit flicks, and rounded bowls that stay open and airy. Capitals are prominent and more ornamental, often built from long single-stroke gestures with soft terminals and occasional swash-like curves. Spacing feels loosely paced and organic, with a lively rhythm created by varying stroke emphasis and elongated ascenders/descenders.
Well suited for short, display-oriented text where its airy strokes and expressive capitals can shine—such as invitations, wedding materials, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and social media graphics. It works best at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine strokes and tight proportions remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and personal, like neat pen-written notes with a touch of flourish. Its lightness and looping forms give it a gentle, romantic character, while the slightly playful proportions keep it friendly rather than formal.
Designed to capture a refined, pen-script look with a lightweight touch and expressive uppercase forms, balancing a handwritten spontaneity with consistent, polished shapes for decorative text settings.
Uppercase and lowercase differ strongly in presence: capitals read as expressive signature-like initials, while the lowercase maintains a simpler, quicker handwritten flow. Numerals echo the same slim, rounded handwriting style, staying legible while retaining the casual, drawn quality.
