A flowing script with smooth, pen-like construction and pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and fine hairline connectors. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gently irregular rhythm, mixing soft rounded bowls with occasional sharp, tapered terminals. Ascenders and descenders are long and elastic, and many characters include loops, entry strokes, and small swashes that give the line a lively cadence. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, with thin connecting strokes that visually tie forms together when set in words.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its hairlines and flourishes can remain crisp—such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels graceful and personable, combining formal calligraphic cues with a light, playful charm. Its loops and delicate hairlines suggest a romantic, boutique sensibility rather than a strictly traditional copperplate form.
Designed to emulate expressive pen lettering with refined contrast and decorative looping, aiming for a polished handwritten look that still feels personal and crafted. The emphasis on elegant capitals and lively connections suggests a focus on headline and signature-like applications.
Several capitals show more decorative movement than the lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy for initials and short display settings. The numerals and punctuation maintain the same high-contrast, handwritten logic, helping mixed-content lines feel cohesive.
