A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and calligraphic, pointed terminals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with hairline upstrokes and slightly heavier downstrokes that stay overall light. Letterforms are narrow and tall-leaning, with compact lowercase proportions and a notably low x-height relative to long ascenders and descenders. Connections are fluid but not overly continuous, and many capitals feature gentle entry swashes and occasional looped or open counters that keep the texture light and quick.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where its thin strokes and expressive capitals can shine—such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, and signature-style wordmarks. It also works well for quotes or headings at larger sizes where the hairlines and loops remain clear.
The font conveys a romantic, handwritten elegance with a breezy, personable tone. Its fine strokes and looping gestures suggest a graceful, slightly old-fashioned charm, making it feel intimate and expressive rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting refined with calligraphic contrast and tasteful flourishes. The narrow, slanted rhythm and low-x-height elegance appear intended to deliver a light, graceful script for display-focused typography.
Capitals read as more decorative than the lowercase, using elongated strokes and subtle flourish to create contrast at the start of words. Numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic logic and feel consistent with the letterforms, favoring curved forms and tapered ends over rigid geometry.
