A delicate, right-leaning calligraphic hand with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height. Strokes are thin overall with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals often finish in tapered points or small curls. Uppercase forms carry generous loops and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes, while lowercase stays simpler but remains narrow and vertically oriented. Spacing appears lightly set and open, giving the line a refined, airy rhythm.
Best suited to short display lines where the flourished capitals can shine—such as invitations, announcement cards, packaging accents, boutique branding, and pull quotes. It can work in longer sentences at larger sizes, but the very small x-height and fine strokes suggest using comfortable size and generous leading for readability.
The font conveys a romantic, old-world charm with a playful flourish. Its light touch and looping capitals feel formal yet friendly, suitable for expressive, personalized messaging rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to mimic a neat, formal handwritten script—prioritizing graceful movement, narrow proportions, and decorative capitals for a refined, personal tone in display typography.
The sample text shows consistent slant and a steady baseline with occasional exuberant capitals that add emphasis. Numerals follow the same slender, slightly calligraphic construction, blending smoothly with the letterforms.
