A flowing, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapering entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from quick, calligraphic gestures that alternate between hairline-thin connections and sharper, inkier downstrokes, creating a lively, high-contrast rhythm. The overall texture is open and delicate, with narrow, elongated proportions and frequent ascenders/descenders that add vertical movement. Curves are smooth but often finish in pointed terminals, and many capitals feature restrained swashes and extended cross-strokes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display use where its delicate strokes and expressive capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, wedding or event stationery, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and pull quotes. It can work for brief subheads, but the narrow, intricate forms are likely to be clearest at larger sizes and with comfortable line spacing.
The tone is refined and expressive, balancing a romantic, personal handwriting feel with a fashion-forward lightness. Its slender strokes and airy spacing read as graceful and intimate, suited to messages that want to feel crafted and tasteful rather than loud or playful.
Designed to evoke a natural pen-written signature look with a polished, editorial sensibility. The intent appears to be a stylish cursive that feels personal and graceful while still maintaining consistent structure across the alphabet for controlled, repeatable typography.
Capitals tend to be more decorative than the lowercase, with several letters using long, sweeping strokes that can create dramatic silhouettes in headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and tapered terminals that keep the set cohesive in mixed text.
