A slanted, calligraphic script with smooth, continuous strokes and a consistent, pen-like rhythm. Letterforms are compact and relatively narrow, with a modest x-height and gently rounded terminals. Capitals feature prominent entry strokes and occasional swashy curves, while lowercase shows flowing joins, tall ascenders, and looped descenders that create a lively vertical cadence. Contrast is moderate and controlled, with thicker downstrokes and lighter connecting hairlines that stay readable in text.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and greeting cards where a formal handwritten feel is desired. It also works effectively for logos, packaging accents, and short headlines or pull quotes, especially when paired with a simple serif or sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is polished and classic, evoking traditional handwriting used for formal notes and tasteful branding. Its flowing connections and restrained flourishes feel romantic and slightly vintage without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to deliver a refined connected script that reads smoothly in phrases while providing expressive, swashy capitals for emphasis. The compact proportions and moderate contrast suggest an aim toward elegant display use with enough consistency for short-form text settings.
Numerals follow the same slanted, handwritten logic, with soft curves and open counters that keep them legible alongside text. Spacing appears even for a script, and the connected structure creates a steady baseline flow while still allowing capitals to stand out as decorative initials.
