A delicate calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, drawn rhythm. Strokes are thin overall with modest thick–thin modulation, and many forms end in fine, tapered terminals. Capitals are expressive and looped, with tall ascenders and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes. Lowercase is compact with a small x-height and long, narrow extenders, giving the line a vertical, fluttering texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying light and slightly irregular in width for a natural, penned feel.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and greeting cards where elegance and personality are key. It also works effectively for short headlines, pull quotes, and signature-style branding marks, especially when set with generous leading to accommodate tall extenders and flourishy capitals.
The font conveys a graceful, intimate tone—polished enough for formal notes, yet playful through its loops and buoyant movement. Its airy strokes and flourishy capitals suggest a personal, romantic sensibility rather than a rigid, corporate voice.
Likely designed to emulate a fine-pen calligraphy hand that balances readability with ornamental character. The narrow proportions, light touch, and expressive capitals appear intended to create a refined, handwritten presence for display-focused typography.
Letterforms show intentional variation in stroke length and curvature, which enhances the handwritten authenticity. Spacing appears relatively open for such narrow forms, and the most decorative energy sits in the capitals and in tall ascenders/descenders, which can become the dominant visual feature in a line of text.
