A delicate script with a steep forward slant and slender, tapering strokes that create a crisp calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and many characters use open counters and light, looping joins. Capitals are especially elongated and fluid, with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes, while lowercase shapes stay compact and bouncy, relying on thin hairlines and pointed terminals for a handwritten finish. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple strokes with gentle curves and occasional looped forms.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its thin strokes and tall, looping forms can breathe—such as wedding stationery, invitations, quotes, packaging accents, and boutique branding. It can also work for social graphics and headings when paired with a simple sans for supporting copy.
The font reads as intimate and graceful, combining a casual handwritten feel with a polished, dressy tone. Its airy strokes and flowing motion suggest romance and refinement rather than bold informality.
Designed to emulate a refined handwritten signature style with calligraphic contrast and graceful loops, prioritizing charm and expressiveness over utilitarian text readability.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, with hairline upstrokes and heavier downstrokes giving the text a lively sparkle at display sizes. Spacing appears intentionally irregular in a handwritten way, and the tall proportions make the line feel vertical and animated.
