A slender, calligraphy-informed script with pronounced stroke contrast and an overall rightward slant. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with tapered entry and exit strokes, producing fine hairlines and fuller downstrokes. Proportions are tall and delicate, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, giving the face a light, floating rhythm. Connections are suggestive rather than rigidly consistent, so words read as flowing handwriting with occasional breaks and open counters.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its delicate contrast and tall proportions can breathe: invitations, save-the-dates, greeting cards, boutique packaging, and signature-style branding. It also works well for pull quotes or section titles when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is graceful and personable, blending modern casual handwriting with a refined, bridal-stationery elegance. Its looping strokes and soft joins add warmth and charm, while the high-contrast construction keeps it feeling polished rather than rustic.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident pen lettering with a fashionable, editorial finish. Its slim stems, tapered terminals, and lively loops aim to deliver a handwritten signature feel that stays elegant and legible in display applications.
Capitals are especially expressive, using sweeping curves and extended strokes that can occupy extra horizontal space in short headings. Numerals and some lowercase forms lean toward calligraphic simplicity, so the texture stays open and uncluttered at display sizes.
