A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and an airy, narrow footprint. Strokes show a calligraphic sensibility with visible contrast between fine hairlines and thicker downstrokes, plus tapered terminals that often end in soft hooks. Letterforms are built from looping ascenders and long, flowing descenders, with modest joining behavior and frequent entry/exit strokes that keep words moving. Capitals are tall and expressive, while the lowercase stays compact with a notably small body height and generous vertical extenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm.
This font is well suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and headline treatments where its tall loops and fine detailing can read clearly. It works best with generous size and line spacing to accommodate its extended ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, balancing refinement with a lightly playful, handwritten charm. Its thin hairlines and swooping curves give it a dressy, romantic feel, while the relaxed connections keep it approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate a quick, elegant pen script that feels personal and flowing, emphasizing graceful movement and decorative capitals while remaining legible for short phrases.
Spacing appears open and slightly irregular in a natural handwritten way, and the long ascenders/descenders create strong line-to-line presence. Numerals and capitals echo the same looping, tapered construction, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive in display sizes.
