A delicate, slanted script with a calligraphic, pen-like construction and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders/descenders, frequent entry/exit strokes, and intermittent connections that keep words flowing without becoming fully continuous. Curves are smooth and elastic, with occasional sharp turns and tapered terminals that suggest quick, confident pen movement. Uppercase forms lean decorative, using extended swashes and open counters to create a lively rhythm in display settings.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its tall, flowing shapes and decorative capitals can be appreciated—such as branding, boutique packaging, invitations, headings, and editorial pull quotes. It also works well for signature-style marks and overlays on imagery where a refined handwritten accent is desired.
The overall tone is graceful and expressive, reading as polished handwriting with a fashionable, romantic feel. Its slim proportions and sweeping capitals add a sense of sophistication and lightness, while the natural irregularities keep it personable and human.
Designed to emulate elegant cursive handwriting with a calligraphic sensibility, prioritizing expressive rhythm, graceful capitals, and a light, upscale tone for branding and celebratory uses.
Capitals are especially prominent and flourish-heavy, making them a strong stylistic feature at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with slender figures and gentle curves that feel consistent with the letterforms.
