This script features a right-leaning, pen-drawn construction with smooth, continuous curves and occasional looped terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior that suggests a flexible nib or brush, with rounded turns and tapered entries/exits. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with a tight rhythm and a mix of connected and semi-connected joins depending on the glyph. Capitals are more expressive, using extended lead-in strokes and soft swashes, while lowercase maintains a restrained, flowing cadence with small counters and delicate terminals.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate contrast and swashy capitals can be appreciated, such as wedding stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, labels, and short headline phrases. It works especially well for names, signatures, and pull quotes, and is less suited to dense small-size text where its fine strokes and compact proportions may soften.
The overall tone is refined yet informal, like careful handwritten lettering intended to feel personal and tasteful. Its light, fluid motion reads as romantic and boutique-friendly rather than bold or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to emulate modern calligraphy handwriting with a polished, curated finish—balancing expressive capitals with a more controlled lowercase for readable, flowing word shapes.
The numerals and capitals carry the most flourish, while the lowercase keeps a consistent, quick handwriting texture. In longer lines, the slant and looping joins create an even, wave-like baseline movement that can feel lively at larger sizes.
