A flowing handwritten script with slender strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives it a calligraphic, pen-drawn feel. Letterforms are tall and narrow with tight sidebearings, producing a compact rhythm in words while still allowing open counters in rounded shapes. Terminals often finish in soft hooks and loops, and many capitals feature gentle entry/exit swashes that add height and personality without becoming overly ornate. The baseline is largely steady and the overall construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, greeting cards, and boutique packaging where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works effectively for logos and short display lines, especially when you want a refined script look with a compact footprint.
The tone is polished yet approachable—suggesting hand-lettered invitations and boutique branding rather than casual marker writing. Its looping forms and delicate contrast read as romantic and slightly nostalgic, with a light, playful energy in the capitals and curved descenders.
This design appears intended to emulate neat, formal hand-lettering with a calligraphic edge: narrow, tall proportions for compact set lines, plus expressive capitals to provide standout moments in names and headings.
Uppercase characters tend to be more decorative and expressive, while lowercase forms are simpler and built for continuous reading in short phrases. Numerals match the script aesthetic with narrow proportions and rounded, calligraphy-like joins, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
