A flowing, calligraphic script with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced stroke contrast between hairlines and thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with generous ascenders/descenders and small lowercase bodies that create a tall, airy texture. Terminals frequently finish in teardrop-like or tapered shapes, and many capitals feature open loops and sweeping entry strokes that read as lightly ornamented rather than dense. Spacing and width vary per glyph in a natural, hand-drawn rhythm, helping the alphabet feel animated while remaining relatively even in baseline and overall color.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display settings where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—such as wedding and event invitations, logos and boutique branding, product packaging, and greeting cards. It can also serve as an accent face for pull quotes or section titles when paired with a restrained text companion.
The font conveys a refined, personable tone—equal parts classic and playful. Its looping capitals and delicate hairlines suggest romance and ceremony, while the lively bounce and informal joins keep it approachable and boutique-like rather than strictly formal.
Designed to emulate a neat, modern calligraphy look with decorative capitals and a hand-guided stroke flow. The emphasis appears to be on charm and elegance in display typography, prioritizing expressive forms and a graceful rhythm over dense text economy.
Capitals tend to be more decorative than the lowercase, with larger swashes and distinctive silhouettes that work well for initials. The numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved forms and tapered endings that integrate smoothly with the script style.
