A delicate, right-slanted script with smooth, pen-like strokes and modest thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean on open counters, long entry/exit strokes, and occasional looped constructions, creating a flowing rhythm even where characters are not fully connected. Uppercase forms are taller and more expressive, with soft curves and extended swashes, while the lowercase stays compact with a notably small x-height and generous ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, using simple, slightly angled shapes that echo the script’s motion.
Well suited to invitations, wedding collateral, boutique branding, and logo wordmarks where a refined handwritten feel is desired. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headings, and short product names, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat personal handwriting refined with a touch of calligraphic flourish. Its light, airy presence reads as tasteful and romantic rather than bold or loud, lending a gentle, polished charm to short phrases and names.
The design appears intended to capture a polished handwritten signature look—light, fast-moving, and slightly formal—balancing legibility with decorative loops and swash-like capitals for emphasis in display settings.
Stroke endings tend to taper into fine points, and several characters use extended cross strokes and loopbacks that add personality but can tighten spacing in dense text. The mixed connection behavior and prominent capitals make it especially expressive at display sizes, where the swashes have room to breathe.
