A delicate cursive script with hairline connecting strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests a pointed-pen influence. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders/descenders and generous internal whitespace, creating an airy vertical rhythm. Joins are smooth and continuous, with frequent loops in capitals and many lowercase forms; terminals often taper to fine points or finish with small swashes. The overall texture is light and open, with variable character widths and occasional exaggerated entry/exit strokes that add movement to words.
This script works best for short to medium display text where its thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and social graphics. It is especially effective for names, headlines, and signature-style lockups where expressive capitals can lead the line.
The font feels graceful and intimate, with a romantic, handwritten charm that reads like careful calligraphy rather than casual note-taking. Its light touch and looping forms give it a whimsical, boutique tone suited to elegant, personal messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate refined handwritten calligraphy in a clean, modern presentation—prioritizing elegance, vertical flow, and ornamental capitals while keeping the overall texture light and uncluttered.
Capitals are notably flourished and often taller than the lowercase by a wide margin, making initial letters visually prominent. Numerals follow the same slender, calligraphic construction and look best when treated as decorative elements rather than utilitarian text figures.
