A delicate, right-leaning script with long, tapered entry and exit strokes and a consistent pen-like rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with pronounced ascenders/descenders and generous internal whitespace that keeps words from feeling dense. Contrast shows up as hairline joins against fuller downstrokes, and many capitals feature subtle swashes and looped bowls. The lowercase is compact with small counters and simple, fast-looking connections, while numerals follow the same handwritten logic with slender curves and open shapes.
Well-suited to wedding suites, invitations, and event stationery where a graceful handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and short display copy such as pull quotes or headlines, especially when paired with a simpler sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like a neat signature or a carefully written note. Its light touch and flowing loops suggest a romantic, boutique sensibility rather than anything rigid or technical.
Designed to evoke a refined handwritten cursive with a signature-like flow, balancing ornamental capitals with a simpler lowercase for readable word shapes. The narrow, high-rhythm construction and tapered terminals aim for elegance and economy of space while keeping a light, personal character.
Capitals provide most of the personality, with several forms using extended lead-in strokes that can create a stylish flourish at the start of words. Spacing appears moderately open for a script, helping maintain clarity in longer sample lines despite the narrow proportions.
