A delicate cursive script with a noticeably slanted, fast handwritten rhythm and tall, narrow letterforms. Strokes are thin overall with pronounced thick–thin modulation that follows pen-like direction changes, and terminals often finish in tapered hairlines. Capitals are large and expressive, built from long entry strokes and open loops, while lowercase forms are compact with small counters and frequent ascender emphasis. Many characters connect smoothly in running text, with occasional lifted joins that preserve a natural, written cadence. Numerals are similarly slender and curvilinear, with looping forms and lightweight horizontal accents.
Best used for short, prominent text where its thin strokes and looping capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, beauty and fashion branding, product packaging, social graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for brief pull quotes or section headers when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a refined, personal feel that reads as polished handwriting rather than formal calligraphy. Its airy lines and looping capitals add a romantic, boutique character suited to softer, lifestyle-forward messaging.
Designed to mimic elegant everyday handwriting with a slightly dressy finish: slender proportions, expressive capitals, and pen-like contrast create a signature-style script that looks personal yet curated.
Spacing appears tight and vertically oriented, giving words a tall, continuous texture; the design relies on contrast and curvature more than weight for emphasis. The distinctive, oversized capitals can become the dominant visual feature in mixed-case settings, especially at larger sizes.
