A flowing script with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are smooth and brush-like, with tapered entry and exit strokes and frequent looped forms in both capitals and lowercase. Capitals are tall and sweeping with occasional flourished terminals, while the lowercase is compact with a very low x-height relative to long ascenders and descenders. Spacing is tight and the letterforms are narrow, creating a continuous, ribbon-like rhythm even when letters are not fully connected.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as wedding and event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and elegant headlines. It can also work for logos or signatures where a personal, refined handwritten look is desired, but will be less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is graceful and romantic, leaning toward traditional penmanship and invitation-style lettering. Its high-contrast curves and swashy capitals convey a sense of ceremony and polish, with an expressive, handwritten warmth rather than a rigid formal script.
The design appears intended to emulate polished cursive handwriting with calligraphic contrast and ornamental capitals, balancing smooth continuity with decorative loops. Its proportions emphasize an upscale, classic script feel, prioritizing expressive form and rhythm over compact text readability.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the fine hairlines and compact lowercase can breathe. The numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with soft curves and tapered endings that harmonize with the alphabet.
