A delicate cursive script with a smooth, continuous rhythm and a consistent, very thin stroke. Letterforms lean strongly forward and rely on long, sweeping entry and exit strokes; curves are open and rounded, with occasional slender loops in capitals and ascenders/descenders. Proportions favor tall ascenders and deep descenders, while counters remain generous, giving the overall texture a light, spacious feel. Spacing is somewhat irregular in a natural handwriting way, and capitals are more flourished than the lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings.
Best suited to display use such as wedding suites, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and short editorial pull quotes. It performs particularly well when given ample tracking/leading and used at larger sizes where the thin strokes and loops can remain clear.
The font reads as graceful and intimate, with a polished handwritten tone that feels romantic and slightly formal without becoming rigid. Its light touch and elongated strokes suggest a tasteful, boutique sensibility suited to moments where softness and personality matter.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant, hand-signed look with controlled calligraphic movement—prioritizing fluidity, charm, and refined expressiveness over strict uniformity.
In longer lines the extended connectors and tall forms create an active baseline flow, while the thin weight keeps the page color pale and refined. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and gentle curves that harmonize with the script texture.
