A slanted, flowing script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, continuous strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms show gentle entry and exit strokes, occasional looped ascenders/descenders, and a lively baseline with subtle bounce. Proportions lean compact in the lowercase, while capitals are larger and more decorative, giving the face a clear hierarchy. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with curved forms and soft corners that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to wedding and event materials, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a graceful signature-like voice is desired. It also works for short headlines on packaging, labels, and social graphics, especially when set with generous tracking and simple companion text.
The overall tone is polished and personable, combining a traditional cursive elegance with an inviting, handwritten warmth. It reads as celebratory and romantic rather than casual or rough, with enough flourish to feel special without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate confident, formal handwriting with a smooth brush-script cadence, balancing decorative capitals and clean, connected lowercase for expressive display typography. The aim appears to be an elegant script that remains readable in short phrases while still offering a sense of flourish and occasion.
Connections between letters are generally smooth in text, but individual shapes retain distinct counters and joins, helping readability at display sizes. Stroke modulation is present but restrained, and spacing feels naturally irregular in a way that reinforces a hand-rendered character.
