A flowing cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and mostly monoline strokes. Letterforms are built from long, sweeping entry and exit strokes with frequent open counters and generous, rounded loops, giving the line a smooth rhythm. Capitals are larger and more decorative, featuring extended swashes and occasional crossover strokes, while lowercase keeps a compact body with tall ascenders and long, curling descenders. Spacing and widths vary in a natural handwritten way, and many forms visually suggest connection even when characters are set with small breaks.
Well-suited to short-to-medium phrases where a handwritten, polished impression is desired, such as invitations, wedding collateral, greeting cards, and boutique or beauty branding. It also works for headers, pull quotes, and signature-style lockups where the swashes and loops have room to breathe.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, evoking handwritten notes and formal penmanship. Its light, airy drawing and looping forms feel romantic and slightly ceremonial, while still reading as personal and human rather than rigidly formal.
Designed to emulate neat, flowing handwriting with a calligraphic sensibility, balancing decorative capitals and smooth connectivity with a light, readable texture. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and expressiveness for display settings rather than dense, small-size text.
In running text, the baseline feels gently animated by the long joins and occasional flourish-like terminals, which can create a lively texture. The numerals follow the same cursive logic, leaning and using curved strokes that blend with the script’s cadence.
