A flowing cursive script with a pronounced forward slant and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with restrained stroke contrast and a lightly calligraphic feel, keeping counters open while maintaining a tight, quick rhythm. Proportions emphasize tall capitals and extended ascenders/descenders, giving lines a graceful verticality, while overall spacing stays compact and lively. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and simple, slightly angled terminals.
Well suited for names, short headlines, and accent text where a handwritten touch is desired—such as logotypes, signature lines, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging. It performs best when given room for its flourishes, and is especially effective at medium-to-large sizes where the looping connections remain clear.
The overall tone feels intimate and expressive, like a neat signature or a quick note written with confidence. Its looping forms and gentle motion read as polished yet informal, leaning toward romantic and boutique-friendly styling rather than utilitarian text work.
Designed to evoke a natural handwritten script with a refined, fashion-forward polish. The consistent slant, smooth joins, and swashy capitals suggest an emphasis on expressive word shapes for display-oriented typography rather than dense paragraph reading.
Capitals feature prominent swashes and long lead-in strokes that can become visually dominant in short words or at larger sizes. The baseline feel is gently animated by varying joins and occasional extended tails, which adds charm but benefits from comfortable line spacing in multi-line settings.
