A slender cursive script with an overall right-leaning, calligraphic construction and a distinctly light stroke. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional long ascenders and descenders that create generous white space. Contrast is subtle but present, reading more like pen pressure modulation than a broad-nib structure, with rounded terminals and fine hairline joins. Uppercase forms are notably swashy and open, using large looping bowls and extended strokes, while lowercase remains compact with a very small x-height and tall, narrow proportions.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where the flourish and rhythm can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks. For longer passages, larger sizes and ample tracking help preserve clarity and keep the hairline strokes from visually closing up.
The font conveys a refined, romantic tone—graceful and intimate rather than bold or assertive. Its lightness and looping capitals evoke handwritten notes, invitations, and classic personal correspondence with a touch of formality.
Designed to emulate a light, elegant pen script with expressive capitals and a flowing baseline rhythm, prioritizing charm and sophistication over utilitarian readability. The compact lowercase and extended loops suggest an intention for refined display typography in stationery and brand-facing applications.
At text sizes, the delicate strokes and tight interior counters can appear faint, while display settings let the long loops and flourishes read clearly. The numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, keeping the set cohesive and stylistically consistent with the alphabet.
