A delicate script with a pronounced rightward slant and gently modulated stroke thickness. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional looped ascenders and descenders, creating a lively handwritten rhythm. Capitals are tall and graceful with modest flourishes, while lowercase forms are compact with a noticeably low x-height and long extenders that add vertical elegance. Terminals are mostly tapered and rounded, with a consistent, pen-like flow rather than rigid geometric construction.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display settings where a handwritten signature tone is desired—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging accents, greeting cards, and pull quotes. It is most effective at larger sizes where the fine strokes and loops remain crisp and the low x-height doesn’t compromise readability.
The overall tone is refined and personable, blending a classic handwritten charm with light, playful movement. Its looping forms and tall proportions lend a romantic, invitation-like feel, while the restrained contrast keeps it approachable and informal rather than formal engraved script.
Designed to emulate smooth, pen-written cursive with an emphasis on graceful vertical proportions, gentle flourish, and an even, flowing rhythm for expressive display typography.
In text, the slant and connective tendencies encourage a smooth cursive line, though individual letters retain some separation, preserving clarity. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender shapes and subtle curvature that match the script’s pacing.
