A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and an open, breathable rhythm. Strokes are fine and crisp with noticeable thick–thin modulation that mimics a pointed-pen or light brush touch, and terminals often finish in soft tapers. Uppercase forms are ornate and loopy with occasional extended entry strokes, while lowercase letters keep a simple handwritten structure with narrow counters and frequent single-stroke joins. Numerals follow the same refined, slightly calligraphic construction, with rounded bowls and light, airy curves.
Well-suited to wedding or event invitations, beauty and lifestyle branding, boutique packaging, and short display lines where the looping capitals can shine. It also works for pull quotes and social graphics when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its airy texture.
The tone is graceful and lightly playful, balancing a formal, calligraphic impression with an approachable handwritten warmth. Its looping capitals and gentle swashes add a romantic, boutique feel without becoming overly rigid or ceremonial.
Designed to capture a refined handwritten look that feels personal and stylish, using tall proportions and looped capitals to create distinctive wordmarks and elegant display typography. The overall construction suggests an emphasis on charm and readability in short-to-medium phrases rather than dense text settings.
Letterforms show a consistent rightward flow and a tidy baseline, but with enough organic variation to read as hand-drawn rather than geometric. Capitals carry most of the decorative emphasis, making them effective for initials and short headline moments, while the lowercase remains comparatively restrained for smoother word shapes.
