A delicate cursive script with tall ascenders, compact lowercase bodies, and a lively rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline entry/exit strokes and occasional swelling on downstrokes, creating a lightly calligraphic texture. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with generous loops in capitals and select lowercase (notably l, y, z) and a rhythmic, slightly bouncy baseline. Connections are generally smooth in lowercase, while capitals often stand alone with prominent lead-in swashes and tapered terminals.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its fine hairlines and loops can breathe—such as invitations, greeting cards, beauty or lifestyle branding, packaging, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or product names, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is graceful and personal, like neat hand-lettering for invitations or boutique branding. Its thin hairlines and looping forms give it a romantic, airy charm, while the brisk slant and compact spacing keep it energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant, contemporary handwritten signature look with classic calligraphic contrast. Narrow proportions and pronounced loops help it feel refined and decorative while remaining legible in mixed-case words.
Capitals feature noticeable flourishes and varying entry strokes that add personality but can create uneven color in all-caps settings. Numerals are slender and handwritten in spirit, echoing the same tapered terminals and high-contrast stroke behavior seen in the letters.
