A slanted, calligraphic hand with brush-like strokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation, with thickened downstrokes and lighter entry/exit strokes that create a lively, inked rhythm. Capitals are broad and gestural with occasional swashes and looped joins, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably low x-height and open counters. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural handwritten cadence while keeping consistent baseline alignment and overall texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as logos, boutique branding, packaging, invitations, and editorial headlines where its brush contrast and swashed capitals can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set with generous tracking and line spacing to avoid crowding from the tall extenders.
The style reads as formal yet personable, blending classic script elegance with a slightly energetic, hand-rendered edge. It conveys a romantic, boutique tone—polished enough for headline use, but still clearly human and expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, handwritten calligraphic feel with confident, brush-driven motion—balancing legibility with decorative flair for expressive display typography.
Ascenders and descenders are relatively long, giving lines a tall, airy silhouette. Several letters feature distinctive inner loops and curled terminals (notably in capitals and in forms like g, y, and z), which add movement but can increase visual density in tighter settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with curved forms and tapered endings, suitable for display contexts.
