A right-leaning calligraphic script with smooth, pen-like strokes and gently modulated thickness. Letterforms are unconnected but share a consistent cursive rhythm, with rounded bowls, tapered terminals, and occasional looped entries and exits. Capitals are more expressive, featuring swashes and broad curves, while lowercase forms stay compact with a relatively small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that add vertical grace. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open, airy shapes and soft finishing strokes.
Best suited to short-to-medium runs where its swashy capitals and cursive rhythm can be appreciated—wedding suites, event stationery, greeting cards, elegant packaging, and boutique branding. It also performs well for editorial pull-quotes and display headlines where a refined handwritten voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal yet personable—suggesting handwritten notes, invitations, and literary quotation styling rather than casual marker lettering. Its flourished capitals and controlled slant evoke tradition and ceremony, while the light touch keeps it approachable and romantic.
Designed to mimic careful, formal pen lettering: expressive in the capitals, restrained and readable in the lowercase, and consistent across letters and numerals for polished display typography.
Spacing feels intentionally open, helping the unjoined script read cleanly even with prominent curves and hooks. Stroke endings are consistently rounded and slightly tapered, reinforcing a continuous pen movement across the alphabet and figures.
