A delicate, flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, looping entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from thin hairlines with strong thick–thin modulation, producing an airy rhythm and a lightly calligraphic feel. Capitals are notably more ornate, featuring extended swashes and open counters, while lowercase forms stay compact with small bowls and tall ascenders/descenders. Spacing appears somewhat elastic, with letter widths and connections varying to preserve a handwritten cadence.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and swash capitals can be appreciated—wedding stationery, event invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short headlines or signatures. For longer text or small sizes, its light hairlines and ornate capitals may reduce clarity, so pairing with a sturdy serif or clean sans for body copy is advisable.
The overall tone is poised and romantic, suggesting formal penmanship rather than casual marker lettering. Its light touch and generous loops feel intimate and decorative, with a sense of vintage elegance suited to personal, celebratory messaging.
Designed to evoke hand-written elegance with a formal, calligraphy-inspired structure: expressive capitals, restrained lowercase, and a light, refined stroke that prioritizes atmosphere and sophistication over utilitarian readability.
The uppercase set carries much of the personality through large flourishes (notably in letters like A, B, Q, and R), which can create strong word-shape emphasis. Numerals follow the same slender, calligraphic construction and read best at larger sizes where the fine strokes and contrast remain clear.
