A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pointed-pen feel. Strokes show crisp thick–thin modulation with tapered entry/exit terminals and frequent looped forms, especially in capitals and descenders. Letterforms are narrow and agile with lively, uneven rhythm typical of handwriting, while maintaining consistent stroke behavior and smooth connections in running text. Lowercase is compact with small counters and relatively short bodies compared to the tall ascenders and deep descenders, giving lines a graceful, elongated silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and swashy capitals can be appreciated—wedding stationery, invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and elegant packaging. It also works well for short headlines, signatures, and pull quotes; extended small-size text may lose clarity due to its delicate detailing and tight internal spaces.
The overall tone feels polished yet intimate—like neat personal correspondence or formal notes. Its sweeping capitals and delicate hairlines convey a romantic, classic sensibility, while the slightly irregular handwritten cadence keeps it approachable rather than rigidly formal.
The design appears intended to emulate smooth, practiced handwriting with a calligraphic edge—balancing expressive flourishes with readable connections for word-level flow. It prioritizes graceful movement and decorative capitals to add a premium, personal touch in display typography.
Capitals feature prominent swashes and curved lead-ins that create strong word shapes at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly slanted and lightly constructed, matching the script’s tapered finishing and maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed content.
