A flowing handwritten script with slender, calligraphic strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests a pointed-pen influence. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and spacing stays open so words don’t clump despite frequent loops. Strokes taper to fine terminals, and many capitals use long entry/exit swashes that extend horizontally, creating a lively rhythm. Lowercase shapes are simple and rounded, with occasional high, narrow counters and a gently bouncy baseline that keeps the texture animated.
Best suited to short to medium display text where its flourishes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, product labels, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when set with ample leading and breathing room to accommodate the tall extenders and swashes.
The overall tone is elegant yet informal, balancing refined penmanship with a light, playful spontaneity. Its looping forms and swashed capitals give it a romantic, decorative feel that reads as personable rather than strict or corporate.
Designed to evoke neat, stylish handwriting with a calligraphic touch, providing a decorative script for expressive titles and personal, celebratory messaging.
Capitals are notably more expressive than the lowercase, and several include extended cross-strokes and sweeping curves that can influence line length and require extra sidebearing. Numerals follow the same delicate, handwritten logic, with open, airy shapes that match the script’s light presence.
