A flowing cursive script with fine hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation reminiscent of pointed-pen calligraphy. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a notably small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and generous looping in capitals and select lowercase. Connections are smooth and continuous, with a slight rightward slant and a lively rhythm that alternates between tight counters and extended entry/exit swashes. Spacing reads open and light on the page, while numerals and capitals introduce more display-like flourish than the lowercase body.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and pull quotes where its fine contrast and swashes can be appreciated. It can work for longer phrases at larger sizes, but the small x-height and delicate hairlines call for comfortable tracking and sufficient size for readability.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, suggesting handwritten notes, wedding stationery, and other personal, celebratory contexts. Its high-contrast delicacy and looping forms give it a soft, romantic presence, with a touch of playful charm in the more exuberant capitals.
The font appears designed to emulate graceful cursive penmanship with a calligraphic, high-contrast stroke model and decorative capitals. Its intent is to provide an elegant handwritten voice for formal or sentimental messaging while retaining a natural, personal rhythm.
The design favors expressive strokes over strict uniformity: some joins and terminals vary in length and curvature, contributing to an organic, handwritten feel. The italic posture and long extenders create strong vertical movement, so line spacing benefits from extra breathing room to avoid crowding between lines.
