A flowing script with a calligraphic, pen-drawn construction and gently modulated stroke weight. Letterforms lean forward with a lively rhythm, mixing long, looping ascenders and descenders with compact counters and a notably small lowercase body relative to the capitals. Terminals are often tapered or softly blobbed, and many strokes finish with subtle hooks and swashes that create an ornamental silhouette. Capitals are expressive and varied in width, while lowercase forms connect visually even when set as separate glyphs, giving lines a continuous, handwritten texture.
Best suited to short, expressive text: invitations and announcements, wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique logos, product packaging, and decorative headings. It also works well for pull quotes or hero lines where its looping forms can be given room to breathe, rather than for long paragraphs or small UI text.
The overall tone feels refined yet playful—like decorative handwriting used for personal notes, invitations, or boutique branding. Its loops and flourishes suggest a romantic, slightly old-fashioned charm, with enough bounce and irregularity to keep it personable rather than rigidly formal.
Designed to emulate elegant, practiced handwriting with decorative loops and a graceful forward motion, prioritizing personality and ornament in display contexts. The character set balances readable cursive structures with flourish-driven capitals to add emphasis and a sense of occasion.
Uppercase characters show more dramatic contrast in size and gesture than the lowercase, which helps create strong entry points in titles. Numerals echo the script styling with curved, handwritten forms that suit display settings more than dense tabular work. At smaller sizes, the fine joins, tight apertures, and tall extenders may benefit from generous spacing and line height to preserve clarity.
