A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes behave like a pointed-pen or fine brush: thin hairlines with occasional thicker downstrokes, creating a lively, high-contrast rhythm. The caps are large and gestural with long entry/exit strokes and occasional loops, while the lowercase stays compact with small bowls and a buoyant baseline. Counters are open and the overall spacing feels loose and breathable, emphasizing a light, floating texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its thin strokes and looping movement can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, packaging accents, and boutique or beauty branding. It works well for headlines and pull quotes at moderate-to-large sizes, especially with generous line spacing.
The font reads as intimate and expressive, like quick personal handwriting polished for display. Its fine strokes and looping forms give it a gentle, romantic tone, while the irregularities and springy rhythm keep it casual and friendly rather than formal.
Likely designed to capture the elegance of a light calligraphic hand while retaining the spontaneity of natural handwriting. The emphasis on tall proportions, flowing joins, and decorative capitals suggests an intention toward refined, sentimental display typography rather than everyday text setting.
Some letters feature extended ascenders/descenders and long cross-strokes that add flair but can create collisions at tight leading. Numerals follow the same airy, calligraphic logic, with simple forms and occasional swashes that suit display use more than dense copy.
