A flowing cursive script with pronounced rightward slant and strong calligraphic contrast between hairline entry strokes and thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender, with long ascenders and descenders and a compact lowercase body, creating a vertical, airy rhythm. Strokes often connect, and many glyphs feature soft loops and occasional swash-like terminals; capitals are more expressive with larger initial strokes and gentle flourishes. Counters remain open despite the contrast, and the overall texture alternates between thin, crisp connectors and bold, brush-like stress points.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and flourishes can breathe: wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, boutique and beauty branding, product packaging, and social media graphics. It works especially well for names, headers, and signature-style lockups rather than small UI text or long paragraphs.
The tone feels elegant and intimate, like modern hand-lettering intended for polished personal messages. Its delicate hairlines and sweeping joins give it a romantic, boutique sensibility, while the lively stroke modulation adds a sense of human gesture and charm.
The design appears intended to emulate contemporary calligraphy with a polished, market-ready consistency—combining thin connecting strokes, weighted downstrokes, and expressive capitals to create an upscale handwritten look for display typography.
Several capitals and key lowercase letters (such as f, g, y, and z) show distinctive loop structures and extended terminals that can become a visual feature in short words. Numerals follow the same cursive, calligraphic logic with smooth curves and tapered starts, better suited to display than dense tabular settings.
