A handwritten cursive with tall, slender letterforms and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show dramatic thick–thin modulation: downstrokes are bold and rounded while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a crisp, ink-and-pen feel. Many capitals feature long entry strokes and occasional interior cross-strokes, with generous ascenders and descenders that add vertical sparkle. The lowercase set mixes lightly connected cursive behavior with some open joins, and spacing varies slightly for a natural rhythm. Numerals are similarly narrow and curvilinear, with delicate terminals and occasional looped construction.
Well-suited to invitation suites, wedding and event collateral, boutique branding, packaging, and short display lines where its tall, calligraphic rhythm can breathe. It works best for names, headings, and pull quotes rather than dense paragraphs, where the delicate hairlines and narrow counters may reduce readability.
The overall tone is refined and charming, balancing polished calligraphy with a playful, personal note. Its looping forms and high-contrast strokes suggest romance and boutique elegance, while the irregularities and lively swashes keep it approachable rather than formal.
Designed to evoke a contemporary calligraphy look with strong thick–thin contrast and graceful, elongated proportions. The letterforms aim for expressive, signature-like elegance that stands out in display settings while retaining the spontaneity of hand-drawn writing.
Capitals are especially prominent and decorative, often taller than surrounding lowercase and capable of dominating a line when used in initial positions. The very fine hairlines and tight interiors can visually soften at small sizes, while the tall proportions remain a defining feature across both the alphabet and figures.
