A delicate calligraphic script with smooth, continuous strokes and pronounced contrast between hairlines and thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, creating an airy line with plenty of white space. Terminals frequently finish in soft hooks and teardrop-like ends, and many capitals use gentle swashes and looped entry strokes. The overall rhythm is fluid and slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way while remaining consistent in slant and baseline behavior.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text such as invitations, wedding materials, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial or social headlines. It works especially well when you can give it space—larger sizes and comfortable tracking help preserve the fine hairlines and decorative terminals.
The font conveys a poised, romantic tone with a hint of playful flourish. Its looping capitals and fine hairlines feel dressy and nostalgic, suited to situations where a handwritten elegance is desired rather than a casual marker style.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering with a refined, contemporary polish—combining legible cursive structure with decorative capitals and finishing strokes for a premium, celebratory feel.
Capitals are a focal point, with ornate shapes (notably letters like Q, G, and J) that add personality and movement at the start of words. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curving forms and light stroke endings that match the letter styling.
