A delicate, flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from thin hairline curves with subtle thick–thin modulation, giving an inked, calligraphic impression without heavy shading. Capitals are notably larger and more expressive, featuring open loops and extended flourishes, while lowercase forms stay compact with a very low x-height and generous ascenders/descenders. Spacing and widths vary naturally, producing a lively rhythm and an intentionally handwritten, signature-like texture in words.
Best suited to short to medium lines where its swashy capitals and thin strokes can breathe—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, certificates, and elegant packaging accents. It also works well for pull quotes or headings when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, balancing refinement with an informal, personal feel. Its sweeping capitals and airy hairlines suggest romance and ceremony, while the quick, continuous strokes keep it approachable and human.
Designed to emulate a refined handwritten cursive with calligraphic polish, emphasizing graceful movement, expressive capitals, and a light touch for upscale, personal communication.
Several characters use prominent swashes (especially capitals) that create strong horizontal motion and can affect fit in tight settings. Numerals match the script’s light, angled construction, reading best at moderate sizes where the thin strokes don’t disappear.
