A slanted, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that mimic a flexible pen. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height that emphasizes the capitals and extenders. Strokes move with a smooth, continuous rhythm, while joins and entries show gentle hooks and occasional looped construction, creating a lively handwritten texture. Capitals are more embellished and sweeping, and numerals follow the same cursive logic with flowing curves and tapered ends.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, beauty or boutique packaging, and signature-style logos where a graceful handwritten impression is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and short branding lines, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels elegant and personal, with a romantic, handwritten sophistication rather than a casual marker look. Its narrow, high-contrast strokes and flourished capitals give it a formal, invitation-like charm while still reading as human and expressive.
The design appears intended to provide a polished cursive handwriting voice with calligraphic contrast, compact proportions, and expressive capitals for decorative, brand-forward typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing the condensed, upright rhythm even in longer text. The contrast and delicate connecting strokes suggest it will look best at display sizes or in short phrases where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
