A flowing script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are built from rounded, brush-like strokes with tapered terminals and frequent entry/exit strokes that suggest connective writing, though spacing allows it to function as a semi-connected script in display settings. Uppercase characters feature generous loops and occasional swashes, while lowercase maintains a compact body with tall ascenders and deep descenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly bouncy, with soft, bulb-like joins and a handwritten irregularity that keeps repetition from feeling mechanical.
It works best in short to medium display text where its loops and contrast can be appreciated—brand marks, product packaging, café or boutique signage, greeting cards, invitations, and social media headers. For longer passages, generous tracking and line spacing help preserve clarity as the tall ascenders/descenders and swashy capitals create dense word shapes.
The font conveys an elegant yet playful tone—decorative without feeling overly formal. Its looping capitals and soft, rounded stroke endings read as romantic and boutique-leaning, with a subtle vintage flavor suited to personable, crafted messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate a polished hand-lettered script with decorative capitals and a smooth, inked cadence. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and a refined, calligraphic feel for attention-grabbing display typography.
The contrast and narrow proportions emphasize vertical movement, and the long extenders give words a distinctive silhouette. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with rounded shapes and angled stress that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
