A calligraphic script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, brush-like modulation. Strokes show moderate thick–thin variation, with tapered entries and exits and softly rounded terminals that keep forms fluid rather than sharp. Letterforms lean narrow with compact internal counters and long, gently curved ascenders/descenders; capitals are more ornate, featuring generous swashes and looped construction. The rhythm is continuous and lively, with many joins in the lowercase and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn finish that preserves a natural writing texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its swashes and connected rhythm can be appreciated: logotypes, invitations, event stationery, beauty or fashion packaging, and prominent headings. It can work for pull quotes or brief passages at comfortable sizes, but the tight proportions and energetic joins will read most confidently when given enough scale and spacing.
The font reads as polished and expressive, balancing formality with an approachable handwritten warmth. Its sweeping capitals and flowing connections evoke classic correspondence and boutique branding, giving it a romantic, slightly vintage tone without feeling overly delicate.
Designed to emulate a confident, calligraphy-informed handwriting style that feels curated rather than casual. The goal appears to be an expressive script with decorative capitals and smooth connections that deliver a premium, personalized look in display typography.
Uppercase glyphs provide much of the personality through broad curves and flourished strokes, while the lowercase maintains tighter, faster handwritten movement for readability. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with rounded shapes and directional strokes that harmonize with the text line.
