A delicate, right-slanted cursive with long, continuous strokes and generous loops in both capitals and lowercase. Forms are tall and condensed, with a pronounced vertical rhythm and very small lowercase bodies relative to the long ascenders and descenders. Stroke modulation is subtle, reading as pen-like rather than brushy, with tapered terminals and occasional pointed entry/exit strokes that keep the texture crisp. Spacing is open enough to preserve clarity despite the narrow proportions, and numerals follow the same flowing, handwritten construction.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where its elegant loops and condensed rhythm can shine—such as wedding stationery, invitations, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and pull quotes. It works especially well at larger sizes where the fine strokes and compact lowercase can remain legible.
The overall tone is polished and intimate, combining a signature-like spontaneity with a controlled, formal grace. Its looping capitals and high contrast in scale (small x-height against long extenders) lend a romantic, classic feel suitable for expressive, human-forward typography.
Designed to emulate neat, handwritten penmanship with a refined calligraphic polish, prioritizing flowing connections, decorative capitals, and a tall, slender silhouette for expressive display typography.
Capitals are notably decorative, with generous swashes and looped bowls that create distinctive word shapes in display settings. Lowercase maintains a consistent cursive cadence with smooth joins, while punctuation and numerals echo the same slender, pen-drawn character.
