A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, hairline stroke. Letterforms are built from long, sweeping curves and tapered terminals, with occasional looped entries/exits and brisk, angled joins that create a fast handwritten rhythm. Proportions are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, while the lowercase sits low relative to the overall height, reinforcing a high, spacious vertical profile. Spacing is lively and slightly variable, and several capitals feature extended swashes and crossover strokes that add flourish without becoming dense.
This script performs best in short to medium display lines where its flourished capitals and airy stroke can remain crisp—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and editorial headings. It is less suited to small sizes or dense paragraphs, where the fine strokes and compact lowercase can reduce clarity.
The font reads as graceful and intimate, balancing a formal calligraphic feel with the spontaneity of quick handwriting. Its thin strokes and flowing motion give it a romantic, upscale tone suited to expressive, personal messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate refined penmanship with a quick, confident hand—prioritizing fluid motion, stylish capitals, and a light, elevated presence for display-oriented typography.
Capitals are notably decorative and tend to occupy more visual space than the lowercase, making initial letters prominent in wordmarks or headings. Numerals follow the same light, slanted construction and feel consistent with the letterforms, supporting coordinated display settings.
