A flowing, calligraphy-inspired script with a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick downstrokes and hairline upstrokes, and terminals that taper to fine points. Letterforms are slanted and narrow with a tall, vertical emphasis, while ascenders and descenders are generous and often looped. Connections are fluid in running text, and capitals are more decorative, using sweeping entry strokes and occasional swash-like curves that stand out at the start of words.
Well suited to short to medium-length display typography where its contrast and looping details can be appreciated—such as wedding suites, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and social media headlines. It works best when given enough size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and interior counters.
The overall tone feels graceful and expressive, balancing polish with a personable hand-drawn character. Its looping forms and soft curves give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the crisp contrast and tidy construction keep it from looking overly casual.
Designed to emulate formal pen-script writing with decorative capitals and smooth joining behavior, aiming for an upscale, handcrafted look. The tall proportions and dramatic stroke contrast suggest an intention to deliver elegance and personality for headline and signature-style applications.
The baseline has a subtle bounce and the forms vary slightly in width from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with slender shapes and tapered finishes, pairing comfortably with the letters for display settings.
