A delicate cursive script with fine hairline strokes and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are built from long, looping entry/exit strokes and tall ascenders/descenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm and generous white space. Stroke modulation is subtle but present through tapered terminals and occasional thickened turns, while spacing and character widths vary to preserve an organic, handwritten cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display lines where the slender strokes and looping connections can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, greeting cards, gift tags, beauty or craft packaging, and social media graphics. It also works well for pull quotes or signature-style accents when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels intimate and graceful, like neat pen-and-ink handwriting on stationery. Its looping forms and light touch read as friendly and expressive rather than formal, with a soft, romantic charm that suits personal messages and boutique branding.
Designed to emulate refined everyday cursive: light, fluid, and slightly playful, with expressive capitals and continuous movement through the baseline. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and personal warmth rather than maximum legibility at small sizes.
Caps are especially tall and flourished, with several letters using extended leads and looped joins that can visually overlap at tighter tracking. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, lightly drawn forms that prioritize style over small-size clarity.
