A delicate, slanted handwritten script with tall, willowy proportions and pronounced stroke contrast that mimics a pointed-pen feel. Letterforms are narrow and vertically emphasized, with long ascenders/descenders and frequent looped entries on capitals and select lowercase. Connections are fluid but not uniformly continuous, creating a lively rhythm with occasional lifted strokes and varied join behavior. Counters are small and open, terminals are tapered and slightly flared, and overall spacing stays tight while allowing expressive, uneven word texture.
Best suited to short to medium display text such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can work for brief subheads or captions when ample size and breathing room are available, letting the thin strokes and loops remain clear.
The tone is intimate and graceful, reading like quick, confident hand lettering rather than formal engraving. Its sweeping capitals and light touch suggest a romantic, airy mood with a hint of playful spontaneity.
Designed to capture the look of modern calligraphy in a streamlined, readable script—pairing expressive, looping capitals with compact lowercase to create an elegant handwritten voice for contemporary display typography.
Capitals are especially gestural, often featuring extended lead-in strokes and prominent loops, which makes them strong focal points in display settings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, slender forms that keep the texture consistent alongside text.
