A delicate cursive script with a light, pen-like stroke and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms lean consistently and are built from smooth, continuous curves, with frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage joining in text. Capitals feature more flourish—loops, long leads, and occasional underturns—while lowercase forms stay compact and rhythmic, with slender ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance. Counters are open and rounded, and the numerals follow the same flowing, handwritten logic with simple, airy shapes.
This font works best where a graceful handwritten voice is desired: wedding or event invitations, beauty and lifestyle branding, product packaging, and greeting cards. It also suits short headlines, names, and pull quotes where the swashier capitals can be featured without crowding.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, like a neat signature or a carefully written note. Its looping capitals and soft curves lend a romantic, boutique feel, while the light stroke keeps the texture calm and understated rather than bold or loud.
The design appears intended to simulate polished, everyday cursive handwriting with a touch of calligraphic flair—prioritizing smooth connections and elegant capital forms for a signature-like presence in display settings.
In running text the baseline flow is smooth and continuous, with connections that feel natural and moderately tight. The contrast between understated lowercase and more expressive capitals gives it a clear hierarchy for names, headings, and short phrases.
