A flowing cursive with a pronounced forward slant and brush-pen construction. Strokes show subtle pressure changes, moving between fine entry hairlines and fuller downstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional ink-trail flicks. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmic, with generous ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, creating a tall, airy silhouette. Capitals are more calligraphic and swashy, while lowercase joins are smooth and continuous, producing an even handwritten cadence across words.
Well-suited to short, prominent text such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging accents. It works best where its loops and swashes can be appreciated at display sizes rather than dense, small-body copy.
The overall tone feels personable and expressive, balancing elegance with an informal, handwritten charm. Its looping forms and soft stroke endings give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the quick, brushy gestures keep it lively rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with smooth connections and expressive capitals, aiming for a polished handwritten look that remains readable in short phrases. The proportions and tall extenders suggest an intention toward graceful, signature-like wordmarks and decorative messaging.
Connectivity is consistent in lowercase, and spacing feels naturally variable as in real handwriting, which adds character in headlines. The numerals follow the same cursive logic with curved entries and light, flicked terminals, helping them blend into decorative text settings.
