A flowing script with a steep rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes behave like a pointed-pen hand: hairline entry strokes and terminals expand into fuller downstrokes, with frequent looped ascenders and descenders. Letterforms are compact and lively, with small lowercase bodies, tall extenders, and occasional generous swashes that create rhythmic movement across a line. Capitals are expressive and varied, often featuring elongated lead-ins and curved finishing strokes, while numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and rounded, handwritten construction.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its flourishes can read clearly—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty packaging, and elegant social graphics. It can also work for headlines or pull quotes when given ample tracking and leading to accommodate its tall extenders.
The overall tone feels formal yet personable, like polished handwriting used for special occasions. Its delicate hairlines and looping forms suggest romance and ceremony, while the energetic slant and buoyant joins add a light, charming character.
Designed to emulate a formal calligraphic hand with expressive capitals and graceful loops, prioritizing elegance and motion over utilitarian body-text neutrality. The compact lowercase and tall ascenders/descenders help create a distinctive, signature-like texture in display settings.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the long extenders and flourishes can create attractive overlaps or tangles if line spacing is too small. The contrast is most apparent in curved strokes and downstrokes, so crisp rendering and adequate size help preserve the fine details.
