A flowing cursive with a calligraphy-like stroke model and clear thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean forward with a lively, bouncy baseline and variable rhythm, moving between compact joins and wider, open loops. Ascenders and capitals feature prominent entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes, while bowls and counters stay relatively open for a script. Overall spacing feels tight and continuous, with smooth curves and tapered terminals that mimic pen pressure.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, social posts, and headline-style phrases. It shines in title case and display settings where the capital swashes and contrast can be appreciated without crowding.
The font reads as personable and expressive, balancing polish with an informal handwritten charm. Its looping capitals and rhythmic contrast give it a romantic, slightly vintage tone that feels celebratory and crafted rather than mechanical.
Likely designed to emulate a neat, formal handwritten script with pronounced contrast and decorative capitals, offering a refined signature-like feel for display typography. The emphasis appears to be on expressive word shapes and flourish-driven elegance rather than dense body-text readability.
Capitals are notably decorative and taller than the lowercase, creating strong word-shape emphasis in title case. Numerals follow the same cursive logic with curved forms and occasional loops, helping them blend into typographic compositions without looking like a separate style.
