A flowing cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapered entry and exit strokes that give words a continuous, handwritten rhythm. Strokes feel pen-drawn with gently modulated thickness, rounded joins, and frequent looped forms, especially in capitals and ascenders. Uppercase letters are more expressive and oversized relative to the lowercase, featuring open bowls and occasional swash-like terminals, while lowercase forms stay compact with minimal interior detail and small counters. Numerals follow the same quick, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and angled terminals that match the script’s motion.
Well suited to invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where a refined handwritten signature feel is desired. It works best at display sizes for headlines, names, short phrases, and pull quotes, where the loops and sweeping terminals have room to breathe.
The font reads as graceful and personable, blending a light formal polish with an informal note-taking warmth. Its looping capitals and smooth connections suggest a classic, romantic tone suited to expressive headings rather than utilitarian text.
Likely designed to emulate a quick yet polished pen script with expressive capitals and smooth cursive connections, aiming for a signature-like look that feels both classic and approachable.
Letterforms show a consistent forward momentum and generous curves, creating a lively baseline flow. The most distinctive character comes from the decorative capitals and the elongated cross strokes and terminals, which add flair but can increase visual activity in dense settings.
