A flowing cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-pen construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered entries and exits, creating sharp hairlines alongside swollen downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with long ascenders and descenders and compact lowercase bodies; counters tend to be small and tight. Terminals often finish in soft hooks or sweeping flicks, and several capitals use extended lead-in strokes and modest flourishes that add movement without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and narrow, tall proportions can shine—wedding stationery, invitations, boutique branding, packaging, social graphics, and short headline phrases. It is especially effective when used with generous tracking and ample line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines and prevent crowded joins.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a handwritten polish that reads as personal yet composed. Its rhythm and contrast lend a fashion-forward, romantic feel, while the narrow, upright energy keeps lines of text looking light and quick.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with a refined calligraphic finish, balancing expressive swashes with consistent rhythm for stylish, legible display use.
Uppercase forms are more gestural than the lowercase, with a few dramatic strokes that can stand out in short phrases. Numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic logic, mixing compact figures with occasional curved swashes for a cohesive handwritten texture.
