A slender, slanted script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes behave like a pointed-pen or brush-pen imitation: hairline entry/exit strokes, fuller downstrokes, and frequent teardrop-like joins. Letterforms are lightly connected with generous spacing, long ascenders and descenders, and a notably small x-height that emphasizes the capitals and extenders. Uppercase characters feature prominent loops and sweeping swashes, while numerals keep the same delicate contrast and cursive motion.
Well-suited to wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where an elegant handwritten signature feel is desired. It works best for headlines, short phrases, and display settings where the contrast, swashes, and tall extenders can read clearly.
The overall tone feels graceful and polished, with a romantic, handwritten charm. Its airy rhythm and decorative capitals suggest formality without becoming rigid, leaning toward expressive, personal sophistication.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive cursive handwriting with calligraphic contrast, prioritizing graceful motion and decorative capital forms. It aims to provide a refined, personal look for display typography rather than dense, utilitarian text.
Capitals are comparatively large and highly stylized, which can dominate in mixed-case settings. Many lowercase forms are narrow with fine internal counters, and the thin hairlines and extended flourishes create an ornamental texture that benefits from ample size and breathing room.
