A flowing script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and occasional entry/exit flicks, producing a brisk handwritten rhythm. Uppercase forms are large and gestural, often built from long, curved stems and open loops, while lowercase is compact with a very small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical sparkle. Connections between letters are common but not rigidly continuous, giving the texture a natural, pen-written irregularity without looking messy.
Well suited for wedding and event stationery, romantic or beauty branding, boutique packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes where a handwritten signature-like tone is desired. It performs best at headline and short-text sizes where the contrast, loops, and narrow rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like a neat personal note written with a flexible pen. High contrast and looping strokes add a touch of drama and charm, while the narrow stance keeps it light and refined rather than heavy or rustic.
The design appears intended to mimic elegant cursive penmanship with a flexible-nib feel, prioritizing expressive capitals and a refined vertical rhythm. Its narrow, high-contrast construction suggests a focus on stylish display typography rather than long-form readability.
Spacing appears relatively tight, and the tall ascenders/descenders create a lively baseline rhythm that becomes more decorative as size increases. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with curved forms and thin hairlines, better suited to display settings than dense tabular reading.
