A flowing cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pointed-pen feel. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered entries and exits and occasional hairline turns, giving the letterforms a light, agile rhythm. Capitals are more expansive and gestural, featuring long leading strokes and subtle swashes, while lowercase forms are compact with a very small x-height, tall ascenders, and long, graceful descenders. Counters are narrow and the overall spacing feels tight, producing a sleek, continuous texture in words.
Best suited to display settings where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, and short headlines. It can also work for signatures or quote treatments when set at comfortable sizes with a bit of breathing room.
The font reads as elegant and romantic, with a slightly vintage formal-script tone. Its high-contrast curves and sweeping capitals suggest ceremony and personal stationery rather than casual note-taking.
The letterforms appear designed to emulate confident, formal handwriting with calligraphic contrast and a strong cursive flow. The emphasis on expressive capitals and refined connecting strokes suggests an intention toward elegant, occasion-driven typography.
The design maintains consistent slant and stroke contrast across letters and numerals, with numerals adopting the same cursive, handwritten logic. Stroke terminals frequently end in fine points, and several letters use looped constructions that emphasize motion and connectedness in longer lines of text.
