A delicate, flowing script with smooth, calligraphy-like curves and frequent looped joins. Strokes stay relatively even while showing subtle thick–thin modulation, with soft terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings. The letterforms are compact and tall, with narrow counters and long ascenders/descenders that create a lively vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are more decorative, featuring generous swashes and entry/exit strokes, while lowercase remains more restrained and readable with consistent, rounded connections.
Best suited to short display applications such as wedding stationery, invitations, boutique branding, labels, packaging accents, and headline or quote treatments. It performs well when given ample size and spacing, and when used for emphasis rather than long passages.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, with a gentle, romantic feel. Its looping capitals and airy stroke texture give it a slightly nostalgic, boutique sensibility, while the steady rhythm keeps it polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended to mimic refined pen lettering: elegant connections, expressive capitals, and a consistent, controlled rhythm that balances ornament with legibility for decorative text.
Capitals carry the strongest personality through prominent flourishes, which can create uneven visual color if mixed heavily with lowercase in tight settings. Numerals appear simple and slightly stylized to match the handwritten flow, reading best at display sizes where the fine strokes and loops can breathe.
