A lively cursive script with a calligraphic feel, built from tall, narrow letterforms and a pronounced thick–thin stroke rhythm. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with rounded terminals, while occasional swashes and extended entry/exit strokes add motion without becoming overly ornate. Capitals are expressive and slightly irregular in a handwritten way, and the lowercase shows a flowing, semi-connected rhythm with generous ascenders/descenders and compact counters. Overall spacing feels open for a script, helping the delicate hairlines and high-contrast strokes remain legible in short passages.
Best suited to display use where its contrast and swashes can breathe, such as wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes. It also works well for signatures and name treatments, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The font conveys a polished, personable charm—equal parts graceful and informal. Its looping forms and crisp contrast suggest celebration and care, making it feel inviting and slightly theatrical rather than strictly formal.
Designed to provide an expressive, hand-written script voice that feels refined yet approachable. The intention appears to balance decorative flourish with readable letterforms, offering a signature-like look for titles and branding moments.
Several glyphs feature distinctive looped construction and occasional exaggerated strokes (notably in capitals and letters with long descenders), which creates strong personality but can draw attention in dense text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, handwritten logic, giving them a coordinated, decorative presence.
