A flowing cursive script with a forward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation that mimics pressure from a pointed pen or brush. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders and descenders, narrow bowls, and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a continuous rhythm in text. Terminals are often tapered to hairlines, while downstrokes swell into smooth, inky stems; several capitals use generous loops and occasional flourishes. The overall texture is lively and handwritten, with slight irregularity in stroke width and spacing that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to short to medium display settings where its contrast and loops can shine—wedding or event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and quote graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when given ample size and breathing room, especially on clean backgrounds.
The font conveys a graceful, personal tone—equal parts refined and playful. Its looping capitals and airy hairlines suggest a boutique, handcrafted sensibility suited to expressive, personable messaging.
Designed to capture an expressive handwritten cursive look with calligraphic contrast and decorative capitals, balancing legibility with a sense of flourish. The emphasis appears to be on elegant display typography that feels personal and crafted rather than formal or rigid.
Capitals tend to be more decorative than the lowercase, with varied swash-like forms that can stand out as initials. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slant, reading as handwritten rather than strictly typographic.
