A delicate, calligraphic script with a consistent, very thin stroke and a gentle rightward slant. Letterforms are unconnected but feel written, with smooth entry/exit strokes, rounded terminals, and frequent looped flourishes on capitals and selected lowercase ascenders/descenders. Proportions are airy with generous sidebearings, small lowercase bodies relative to the tall ascenders, and softly oval counters; numerals follow the same light, curving construction for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to short display settings such as wedding suites, announcements, greeting cards, romantic pull quotes, and small-scale brand marks where the swashy capitals can lead. It performs best when given room to breathe—larger sizes, relaxed tracking, and simple companion type for supporting text.
The overall tone is graceful and courtly, suggesting invitations, personal notes, and boutique branding. Its looping swashes add a playful charm while maintaining a poised, formal demeanor.
Designed to emulate careful pen lettering with a refined, decorative finish, prioritizing graceful movement and ornate capitals over utilitarian text density. The consistent light stroke and unconnected construction aim for a clean, polished calligraphic look while preserving a handwritten charm.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, with prominent curls and extended terminals that create decorative rhythm at word starts. The light stroke and open spacing keep paragraphs from feeling heavy, but the ornamental features become more noticeable at larger sizes.
