A flowing cursive with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, pen-like curves. Strokes feel mostly even with subtle thick–thin modulation, giving the letterforms a clean, drawn rhythm rather than a brushy texture. Capitals are larger and more decorative, featuring extended entry strokes and occasional looped swashes, while lowercase forms stay compact with tightly spaced joins and rounded counters. Ascenders are prominent and the overall texture is airy, with frequent open curves and long horizontal sweeps in letters like f and t.
Best suited to display use where the swashy capitals and cursive movement can be appreciated—such as wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and short headlines. It also works well for quotes or signatures in larger sizes, especially when ample spacing is allowed.
The tone is graceful and personable, balancing casual handwriting with a polished, formal flair. Its looping capitals and gentle motion evoke a classic, romantic mood suited to celebratory or boutique contexts rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to mimic confident, continuous penmanship with a refined, calligraphic finish. The emphasis on decorative capitals and smooth connections suggests an intention to deliver an elegant handwritten voice for names, titles, and occasion-driven typography.
The uppercase set carries much of the personality through pronounced flourishes and varying starting strokes, while the lowercase remains relatively restrained for readability in short phrases. Numerals match the cursive angle and maintain the same smooth, continuous stroke behavior, reinforcing a cohesive handwritten look across letters and figures.
