A flowing script with calligraphic construction and a pronounced slant, built from hairline entry strokes that expand into thicker, brush-like downstrokes. Letterforms show rounded terminals, frequent loops, and occasional swashes, with open counters and a rhythmic, bouncy baseline feel. Capitals are notably decorative and varied, while lowercase forms remain mostly connected in text, using tall ascenders and compact bowls to keep the texture airy. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly irregular curves that match the stroke modulation.
Well-suited to short, prominent text where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or short captions when generous spacing and size preserve its hairlines.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, balancing formal penmanship cues with a light, friendly spontaneity. Its flourishes and looping joins lend a romantic, boutique feel that reads as crafted rather than mechanical.
Designed to evoke hand-lettered calligraphy with a stylish, display-forward voice, prioritizing expressive capitals, looping joins, and dramatic stroke modulation for an upscale, personal signature effect.
Stroke contrast is used expressively, with very thin linking strokes and heavier shaded strokes that create sparkle at display sizes. Some glyphs show individualized character (especially capitals and the ampersand), which adds charm but increases visual variety across words.
