A flowing, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a connected rhythm, while many capitals feature extended loops and occasional underturns. Counters are generally open and oval, terminals tend to taper to fine points, and spacing appears intentionally varied to preserve a handwritten cadence rather than rigid uniformity.
Well-suited to display settings where elegance is the priority—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes. It works best when given enough size and breathing room to preserve the fine hairlines and swash details.
The overall tone is graceful and polished, evoking formal handwriting and traditional penmanship. Its soft curves and thin hairlines give it a delicate, romantic feel, while the confident swashes in capitals add a sense of ceremony and flourish.
Designed to capture the look of formal pen-and-ink cursive, balancing readable connections with decorative capital flourishes. The emphasis appears to be on creating a refined, upscale texture for names, titles, and short expressive phrases.
Capitals show the strongest personality, with generous loops and occasional long ascenders/descenders that can create lively word shapes and increased line-to-line interaction in tight leading. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved forms and tapering joins that match the script texture.
