A formal, handwritten script with slender, high-contrast strokes and an upright stance. Letterforms show a smooth, pen-like flow with tapered entries and exits, rounded terminals, and frequent loop construction in both capitals and ascenders/descenders. Capitals are notably decorative, using large swashes and curved cross-strokes, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive rhythm with occasional breaks that make it feel hand-drawn rather than strictly continuous. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with soft curves and light finishing strokes that keep the texture delicate.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial headlines where its swashes can be featured. It works best when given room to breathe—larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve the delicate contrast and prevent the script forms from crowding.
The overall tone is refined and gently playful, balancing classic calligraphy with a friendly, handwritten charm. Its swashes and loops create a romantic, slightly vintage feel that reads as personal and celebratory rather than formal in a rigid way.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, calligraphic script look with expressive capitals and graceful looping, providing a decorative voice for premium and celebratory applications while keeping the lowercase relatively simple for composing words and short phrases.
Texture is driven by pronounced thick–thin transitions and narrow counters, so the face feels light on the page while still producing strong vertical emphasis in heavier strokes. The very short x-height makes lowercase appear petite under tall ascenders and expressive capitals, increasing the sense of elegance but requiring larger sizes for comfortable reading.
