A delicate cursive script with long, tapering entry and exit strokes and pronounced swash behavior, especially in capitals. Strokes show a calligraphic contrast with hairline joins and slightly fuller downstrokes, creating a light, floating rhythm across words. The letterforms are strongly slanted with narrow, elongated proportions and generous ascenders/descenders; counters are small and the lowercase sits low with a compact body. Connections are fluid but not overly tight, leaving crisp white space between strokes while maintaining continuous movement.
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and swashy capitals can breathe—wedding and event stationery, beauty or boutique branding, product packaging, and short headline phrases. It works particularly well for names, signatures, and emphasized words, and is less suited to dense paragraphs or very small on-screen text.
The overall tone is formal and graceful, with a romantic, invitation-like polish. Its airy hairlines and looping capitals give it a luxurious, personal feel that reads as ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to emulate polished penmanship with a calligraphic, formal cadence—favoring graceful motion, extended terminals, and expressive capitals for high-end, celebratory typography.
Capitals feature extended lead-in curves and occasional flourish-like terminals that can add dramatic emphasis in titles. Numerals follow the same thin, slanted script logic, appearing elegant but visually light, especially at smaller sizes.
