A flowing cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, pen-like curves. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and occasional sharp entry/exit flicks, giving letters a lightly calligraphic cadence. Capitals are more expressive, featuring generous loops and swashes, while lowercase forms stay compact with tight counters and a low x-height relative to the ascenders. Spacing and widths vary naturally, producing an organic rhythm that reads like practiced handwriting rather than a rigid construction.
Performs best at display sizes where the swashes and stroke modulation can breathe—such as wedding or event invitations, boutique branding and logos, beauty/fashion packaging, and short pull quotes or headings. For longer passages or small sizes, the compact lowercase and tight interior spaces may reduce clarity, so it’s better as an accent voice than a primary text face.
The font conveys a refined, intimate tone—graceful and slightly nostalgic—balancing softness with confident, sweeping gestures. Its looping capitals and gliding joins suggest formality without feeling stiff, making it feel suited to personal, celebratory, or boutique contexts.
Designed to emulate fluent cursive handwriting with a polished, semi-calligraphic finish. The emphasis on expressive capitals, smooth connections, and tapered terminals suggests an intention to add elegance and personality to short-form messaging and brand-forward typography.
Numerals follow the same cursive logic with slanted forms and curved strokes, blending comfortably with text. The sample lines show strong continuity in joining strokes and consistent baseline movement, with standout flourish in capitals and select descenders that can become prominent at larger sizes.
