A delicate, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are upright with a lively, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm, mixing rounded bowls with occasional long entry and exit swashes. Counters are generally open and the spacing feels loose and breathable, while ascenders and capitals provide tall, decorative vertical emphasis. Numerals and uppercase forms echo the same contrast and flowing terminals, keeping the set visually consistent.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It performs best at display sizes where the high-contrast strokes and swashed details can remain crisp and legible.
The overall tone is graceful and whimsical, suggesting hand-written refinement rather than strict formality. Its light touch and looping flourishes give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the buoyant rhythm keeps it friendly and approachable.
The font appears intended to capture the look of modern calligraphy with a polished, catalog-ready consistency—balancing elegant contrast and decorative swashes with a readable upright structure for display typography.
Connectivity varies: some lowercase shapes feel naturally cursive while others read as loosely joined, which adds to the hand-drawn character. The design relies on fine hairlines and tapered terminals, so very small sizes or low-resolution settings may reduce clarity of the thinnest strokes.
