A delicate script with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-driven contrast between hairlines and thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and compact with small lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders, creating a vertically stretched rhythm. Strokes taper frequently, with occasional entry/exit flicks and soft, rounded turns; spacing feels irregular in an intentional, handwritten way, and several capitals show extended loops and sweeping terminals.
Best suited to wedding and event stationery, boutique branding, logo wordmarks, and editorial-style headlines where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works well for packaging and labels when used at display sizes, particularly in short names or taglines that can take advantage of its flourished capitals.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, combining a polished signature feel with lively handwritten movement. Its thin hairlines and flourished capitals give it a romantic, upscale character that reads as personal and stylish rather than casual or rough.
The design appears intended to mimic swift, confident calligraphy—balancing refined stroke contrast with a natural handwritten cadence. It prioritizes expressive word shapes and decorative capital forms to deliver a distinctive signature-like presence in display typography.
Capitals are notably more decorative than the lowercase, with prominent swashes that can create dramatic word shapes. In longer text, the light hairlines and tight proportions favor larger sizes or short phrases where the fine contrast and loops can remain clear.
