A slender, calligraphic script with a consistent rightward slant and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth curves and narrow counters, with selective swelling through turns that gives a pen-like modulation. Capitals are prominent and more ornate, featuring extended loops and occasional flourishes, while lowercase stays compact with small bodies and relatively tall ascenders and descenders. Spacing and widths vary naturally across glyphs, reinforcing a handwritten rhythm rather than a rigid, uniform texture.
Well-suited for wedding and event stationery, greeting cards, and romantic packaging where expressive capitals can take center stage. It also works nicely for boutique branding, short headlines, and signature-style wordmarks, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels romantic and graceful, with a light, airy presence and a slightly whimsical sense of motion. Its looping capitals and flowing connections suggest personal notes, invitations, and boutique elegance rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to emulate a refined handwritten signature with calligraphic polish, prioritizing fluid movement, decorative capitals, and an elegant, personal feel for display-driven typography.
The font’s character is carried strongly by its uppercase set, where broad loops and sweeping strokes create a decorative headline look. In running text, the narrow forms and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the delicate joins and terminals remain clear.
