A flowing script with a brush-pen feel, built from tapered strokes that swing between hairline upstrokes and fuller downstrokes. Letterforms are steeply slanted with tall ascenders and descenders, generous loops, and occasional swash-like terminals that add flourish without becoming overly ornate. The rhythm is lively and handwritten, with slightly irregular stroke endings and variable joins that keep the texture organic while maintaining consistent overall proportions. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, staying slender and slightly cursive in spirit.
Well-suited to invitation suites, wedding and event collateral, boutique branding, packaging labels, and short display phrases such as pull quotes or social graphics. It performs best at larger sizes where the hairlines and internal loops remain clear, and as an accent face paired with a simpler serif or sans for body copy.
The tone is graceful and personable—more romantic and celebratory than casual. Its light, dancing strokes and looping forms convey warmth and sophistication, suggesting handwritten notes, invitations, and provenanced craft branding rather than utilitarian UI text.
Designed to emulate expressive brush-calligraphy in a clean, catalog-ready script, balancing flourish with legibility for names, headers, and signature-like moments. The consistent slant and tapered construction aim to deliver a polished handwritten look that still feels spontaneous.
Capitals tend to be more gestural and prominent, with extended entry/exit strokes that can increase word-width and affect spacing in all-caps settings. The small x-height and long extenders create an open line feel, so it benefits from a bit of extra line spacing in multi-line compositions.
