A flowing, calligraphy-inspired script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, variable letter widths. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered entry/exit strokes and rounded terminals that feel pen-drawn rather than geometric. Uppercase forms are tall and decorative, often featuring long ascenders and gentle swashes, while lowercase letters are compact with a relatively low x-height and generous ascenders/descenders that create an airy vertical rhythm. Spacing appears open for a script, supporting legibility in words while preserving a hand-rendered, slightly irregular cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, greeting cards, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and logo work. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when given enough size and line spacing to accommodate the tall ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is polished yet approachable—romantic and slightly playful, like modern hand-lettering used for invitations and boutique branding. Its loops and soft curves add charm and personality, while the high-contrast strokes keep it feeling refined rather than casual.
Designed to capture the look of contemporary hand-lettered calligraphy: expressive capitals paired with a more readable lowercase, producing graceful word shapes and a boutique, crafted feel for display typography.
Capitals read as display-forward with distinctive flourish, while the lowercase maintains consistent joining behavior and smooth movement across words. Numerals and punctuation echo the same tapered, pen-like construction, helping mixed-content lines feel cohesive.
