A delicate cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and a fine, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are built from long, tapering entry and exit strokes, with frequent looped ascenders and occasional gentle swashes, creating an airy rhythm across words. Counters are open and rounded, while capitals tend to be larger and more gestural, using extended curves and light flourishes that contrast with the simpler lowercase structure. Numerals mirror the script’s light touch, with slender curves and minimal weight buildup.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and flowing connections can be appreciated—such as wedding stationery, greeting cards, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and short headline treatments. It performs particularly well for names, signatures, and brief quotations where the elegant capitals and looping forms can lead the composition.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, evoking handwritten notes, invitations, and boutique branding. Its lightness and flowing motion read as romantic and polished rather than casual or rugged, with a quiet sense of formality.
The font appears designed to mimic a neat, calligraphic hand with a light pen pressure and a smooth, continuous writing motion. Its primary aim is to provide an elegant, decorative script for expressive display typography rather than dense, extended reading.
The design emphasizes continuous movement and elongated strokes, which gives text a smooth, gliding baseline but also introduces fine details that can soften at smaller sizes. Capitals are especially expressive and can become a focal point in short phrases or initials, while the lowercase maintains a steady, understated cadence.
