A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and hairline strokes that swell into sharper, tapered downstrokes. Letterforms are narrow and compact, with long ascenders/descenders and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a smooth, forward rhythm. Counters are small and the overall texture is airy, with generous internal whitespace and subtle, pen-like modulation. Capitals are more expressive, featuring occasional loops and extended lead-ins, while lowercase maintains a consistent, flowing cadence.
Best suited to short to medium settings where elegance is the priority: wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and display headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or signature-style accents when paired with a simpler text face.
The font conveys a poised, romantic tone—light on its feet, intimate, and gently formal. Its slender strokes and sweeping joins suggest handwritten refinement rather than casual note-taking, making it feel suited to soft, celebratory messaging.
Designed to emulate refined, pen-written cursive with controlled contrast and tasteful flourishes, aiming for an elevated handwritten look that remains consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
The thin hairlines and tight proportions make spacing and line length feel important: the script reads best when given room to breathe. Numerals follow the same graceful, handwritten logic, with rounded forms and tapered terminals that match the letterforms.
