A cursive, hand-drawn script with tall ascenders, compact lowercase, and noticeably high-contrast strokes. Letterforms mix smooth, rounded bowls with sharp hairline entry/exit strokes, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly irregular handwritten texture. Capitals are narrow and elongated with occasional decorative swashes, while lowercase forms favor simple joins, looped descenders, and tapered terminals that feel brush- or pen-driven.
This font suits short to medium display text where a handwritten, upscale feel is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, and social graphics. It works best at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and contrast can remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, balancing a boutique elegance with a light, playful charm. Its thin connecting strokes and delicate terminals give it a romantic, airy presence, while the uneven stroke energy keeps it informal and human.
The design appears intended to evoke modern calligraphy in a casual, accessible script—combining refined contrast and flourish with the spontaneity of handwriting for expressive display typography.
Spacing and connections feel intentionally loose, with many letters behaving as semi-connected script rather than strictly continuous joining. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender spines and soft curves that match the letter rhythm.
