A slender, right-slanted cursive with long ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase proportions, and generous internal counters. Strokes show a pointed-pen sensibility with noticeable thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, producing crisp entry/exit strokes and occasional looped joins. Capitals are tall and lightly constructed with simple swashes and open forms, while lowercase letters keep a consistent forward rhythm with narrow spacing and a refined baseline flow. Numerals echo the same handwritten structure, with single-storey, lightly looped shapes and angled stress.
Well suited to wedding and event stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, and packaging where a refined handwritten signature is desired. It works best for short headlines, names, pull quotes, and accent lines, and is less ideal for dense body copy or very small UI text.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, reading as polished handwriting rather than formal script. Its lightness and quick, flowing movement give it a romantic, boutique feel that suits gentle, expressive messaging.
Designed to simulate an elegant, contemporary handwritten note with a calligraphic edge—balancing legibility with expressive loops and tapered strokes for a premium, personal finish.
Letterforms favor vertical height over width, creating a tall, wireframe texture in text. The contrast and tapers can cause very fine details to soften at small sizes, while larger settings highlight the lively stroke variation and looping connections.
