A tall, slender script with pronounced stroke contrast and tapered terminals that mimic flexible-pen pressure. Letterforms use smooth, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional loops, while capitals are more decorative with long, flowing swashes. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, with narrow bowls, tight counters, and a generally upright stance. Numerals and punctuation follow the same calligraphic logic, combining thin hairlines with thicker downstrokes and soft, rounded joins.
Well-suited to wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, and any messaging that benefits from a graceful handwritten signature. It can work effectively for boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and short display lines such as logos, headers, and pull quotes where its swashes and contrast can shine.
The overall tone is graceful and charming, balancing formal calligraphy cues with a light, personable handwritten warmth. Its thin hairlines and looping details give it a refined, romantic feel, while the bouncy movement and expressive capitals add a playful, boutique personality.
Designed to capture the look of polished hand-lettering with calligraphic contrast and elegant loops, aiming for a refined yet approachable script voice. The narrow proportions and expressive capitals suggest an emphasis on stylish display use rather than dense text setting.
The font’s delicacy and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the hairlines and looped details remain clear. Capitals are visually prominent and can dominate a line, so mixed-case setting benefits from a bit of breathing room in layout and spacing.
