A slanted, high-contrast calligraphic face with brush-like modulation and tapered terminals. Uppercase letters are notably decorative, with generous entry strokes, looped bowls, and occasional swashes that create lively silhouettes. Lowercase forms are simpler and more compact, with a small x-height, narrow apertures, and a consistent rightward lean; ascenders and descenders are relatively long and add vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, mixing sharp hairlines with fuller downstrokes and slightly irregular, handwritten spacing.
Best suited to short to medium-length display use where the ornamented capitals can shine—wedding materials, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and elegant headlines. For longer passages, it will perform more comfortably with larger sizes and generous spacing to preserve clarity around its flourishes.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a touch of romantic flourish. Its swashy capitals and expressive curves lend a ceremonial, invitation-like feel while still reading as friendly and handcrafted rather than rigidly formal.
The design appears intended to mimic formal hand lettering: pen-driven contrast, right-leaning cursive structure, and decorative capitals that add a premium, celebratory character to titles and names.
Contrast is most pronounced on curves and joins, giving the letters a pen-made sparkle at larger sizes. The uppercase set carries much of the personality and can dominate line color, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and ample leading in text settings.
