A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and hairline entry/exit strokes that swell into thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and lean with generous ascenders and descenders, and many capitals feature open loops and extended lead-in flourishes. Strokes show a pen-like contrast and smooth curves, with intermittent breaks that mimic quick handwritten lifts while preserving an overall flowing rhythm. Numerals match the script feel with slender forms and subtle swashes.
Well suited to wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, and beauty or boutique branding where a refined handwritten signature is desired. It can also work for short display lines—names, headings, pull quotes, and packaging accents—especially when ample whitespace helps the delicate strokes read clearly.
The tone is graceful and intimate, leaning toward classic penmanship and romantic stationery. Its light touch and looping capitals give it a polished, personal feel rather than a bold, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to emulate elegant handwritten calligraphy with a modern, minimal pressure-and-release rhythm. It prioritizes graceful motion, elongated proportions, and decorative capitals to create a sophisticated script for display-focused typography.
Capitals are notably expressive and larger in visual presence than the lowercase, which sits low with compact counters and long, tapered joins. The texture stays clean and consistent across the alphabet, but the thin hairlines make it feel best suited to sizes and backgrounds where the fine strokes can remain crisp.
