A delicate handwritten script with a smooth, pen-like stroke and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and tall, with a noticeable rightward slant and narrow set width, giving lines a vertical, streamlined rhythm. The stroke remains largely consistent while allowing subtle thick–thin modulation at curves and joins, and many capitals feature extended loops and entrance strokes. Lowercase shapes are simplified and quick, with compact bowls and narrow counters, and the overall spacing feels tight but controlled for a handwritten look.
Well suited to short, expressive text such as signatures, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It works best at display sizes where the slim strokes, loops, and tight proportions can remain clear and intentional.
The tone is graceful and intimate, balancing casual handwriting with a slightly refined, boutique feel. Its looping capitals and slim silhouettes add a touch of romance and light sophistication without becoming overly formal.
Designed to emulate quick, confident pen lettering with decorative capitals, offering a personal, stylish script for display-oriented typography. The contrast between flourish-heavy uppercase and simpler lowercase suggests an intent to keep words readable while still delivering a distinctive handwritten character.
Capitals are the main expressive feature, showing prominent swashes and flourished loops, while the lowercase stays more restrained for readability. Numerals follow the same cursive, single-stroke feel and maintain the font’s slender, energetic rhythm.
