A delicate, calligraphy-influenced script with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean forward with smooth, continuous joins in the lowercase, while capitals feature generous entry strokes, looping terminals, and occasional swash-like curves. The rhythm is airy and evenly paced, with rounded bowls, long ascenders/descenders, and softly tapered endpoints that mimic a pointed-pen or brush lift. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, staying light and curvilinear with open, elegant shapes.
Well suited to wedding suites, greeting cards, invitations, and event collateral where a formal handwritten feel is desired. It also works for boutique branding, beauty/lifestyle packaging, and short editorial pull quotes or headings where its looping capitals can take center stage.
The overall tone is polished and romantic, evoking formal handwriting used for personal, celebratory, and boutique contexts. Its flowing connections and gentle flourishes feel graceful and intimate rather than bold or utilitarian.
Designed to capture the elegance of formal penmanship in a consistent, typeset script, balancing smooth connectivity with decorative capitals for standout initials. The emphasis appears to be on graceful movement and refined contrast for display-oriented typography.
Uppercase forms are more decorative and expressive than the lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy for initials and short display settings. Counters remain open and the strokes stay clean and uncluttered, but the fine hairlines and flourished terminals suggest it will read best with ample size and spacing.
