A delicate script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, calligraphic curves. Letterforms are slightly condensed with tall ascenders and deep descenders, giving the line a vertical, airy rhythm. Capitals are especially decorative, featuring generous entry and exit strokes, loops, and occasional swashes, while the lowercase mixes connected cursive behavior with a few more open, lightly joined shapes. Terminals tend to be tapered and rounded, and counters are small in places due to the high contrast and narrow proportions.
Well suited to wedding materials, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for short headlines, pull quotes, and packaging accents, particularly when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, evoking handwritten invitations, personal notes, and classic formal stationery. Its flourishes add a playful, storybook charm while still reading as polished and composed.
Designed to capture the look of formal pen lettering with decorative capitals and a flowing baseline rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on charm and sophistication for display settings rather than dense, continuous reading.
The font’s personality is driven by its expressive capitals and long extenders, which can create lively word silhouettes and strong emphasis in titles. Because fine hairlines and tight interior spaces are visually prominent, it looks best when given enough size and breathing room, especially in longer phrases.
