A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, looping ascenders and descenders. Strokes feel pen-drawn with gently modulated thickness, producing a smooth rhythm and a slightly elastic baseline flow. Capitals are notably flourished, often with extended entry/exit strokes and oval counterforms, while lowercase forms are compact with very small x-height relative to the tall extenders. Spacing is airy and the letterforms vary subtly in width, reinforcing a natural handwritten cadence.
Well-suited for invitations and event stationery, especially where decorative capitals can be featured. It also works for boutique branding, labels, and packaging accents, as well as editorial pull quotes or short headlines that benefit from a formal handwritten tone. For longer text, generous size and line spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a graceful, old-world charm—polished yet personal—suggesting handwritten notes, invitations, and ornamental lettering. Its sweeping capitals and hairline-like connections create a romantic, boutique feel with a touch of whimsy.
Designed to emulate refined penmanship with expressive capitals and continuous, flowing joins, balancing ornamental flourish with a consistent cursive structure. The emphasis appears to be on elegant display writing that feels personal and crafted rather than mechanical.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the fine joins, small internal spaces, and elaborate capital swashes have room to breathe. Numerals follow the same cursive, slightly calligraphic logic as the letters, with a light, flowing presence that matches the script’s overall movement.
