A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and slender, lightly weighted strokes. Letterforms show a calligraphic, pen-drawn construction with gentle contrast, tapered terminals, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage connection. Capitals are larger and more expressive, featuring long loops and occasional cross-strokes that extend beyond the main body, while lowercase stays compact with a tight rhythm and small counters. Overall spacing is open and the baseline movement feels smooth and continuous, producing a refined, handwritten texture.
Well-suited to wedding and event stationery, beauty or boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined handwritten feel. It performs best in display sizes—headlines, names, short quotes, and signature-style lockups—where the swashes and delicate stroke weight can remain clear.
The font conveys an intimate, graceful tone—like a neat signature or a formal handwritten note. Its swashy capitals and airy stroke color add a touch of romance and sophistication, while the irregularities of handwriting keep it personable rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to mimic polished, modern cursive handwriting with a calligraphic edge, emphasizing expressive capitals and smooth joining strokes for stylish, personal display typography.
Some characters introduce dramatic flourishes (notably several capitals and the long-crossed t), which can create strong focal points in short phrases. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple shapes and light presence, blending naturally with text.
