A flowing cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and generous looped construction. Strokes show clear pen-like modulation, with tapered entries and exits and slightly heavier downstrokes that give letters a rhythmic, calligraphic cadence. Capitals are tall and expressive, often built from single sweeping gestures with open counters and long lead-in/terminal strokes. Lowercase forms are compact with a notably low x-height and frequent ascenders/descenders, creating a vertical, ribbon-like texture; connections are selective rather than uniformly continuous, helping word shapes stay readable at display sizes.
Well suited for branding and logotypes where an expressive signature-like voice is desired, as well as invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle packaging that benefits from elegance and charm. It performs best in headlines, short phrases, and pull quotes; for longer text, generous leading and moderate tracking help preserve clarity and keep swashes from colliding.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, combining a refined handwritten feel with lively, slightly whimsical movement. Swashy capitals and extended terminals add a romantic, boutique flavor, while the unevenness of hand-drawn curves keeps it informal and approachable rather than formal-script.
Designed to emulate a confident handwritten script with calligraphic contrast and decorative capitals, balancing readability with ornamental motion. The emphasis on tall proportions, looping joins, and extended terminals suggests an intention toward display typography that feels personal and polished.
Letterforms favor open, rounded bowls and long, curved terminals, and many characters finish with gentle hooks that encourage fluid word shapes. Spacing appears tight and the internal rhythm is driven by tall ascenders/descenders, so the style reads best when given some line space and room for its flourishes.
