A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp thick–thin modulation that mimics a pointed-pen or flexible nib. Letterforms are narrow to moderately wide with lively, varying stroke widths and tapered entry/exit strokes. Many capitals feature restrained swashes and curled terminals, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a relatively small body height with tall ascenders and deep descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Curves are smooth and continuous, with occasional teardrop-like joins and subtle texture in heavier strokes that keeps the line from feeling overly mechanical.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where its contrast and swashes can be appreciated: invitations, event materials, quotes, logos/wordmarks, boutique branding, and product packaging. It also works well for headings and pull quotes paired with a simpler companion face for body copy.
The overall tone feels graceful and slightly nostalgic, like handwritten correspondence or formal notes. Its looping terminals and polished contrast lend a romantic, celebratory character without becoming overly ornate. The rhythm is buoyant and personable, balancing refinement with an informal handwritten charm.
The design appears intended to capture the look of elegant, hand-written calligraphy in a consistent, font-ready form. It emphasizes expressive capitals, fluid connections, and a graceful baseline rhythm to convey sophistication and warmth in display settings.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, making initial letters stand out well in titles and names. Numerals share the same slanted, calligraphic logic, with open forms and curled finishing strokes that read as coordinated with the script rather than appended.
