A slanted, pen-written script with smooth, continuous curves and a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show subtle contrast and tapered terminals, with frequent entry/exit hooks that encourage connection even when letters are set as standalones. Proportions are tall and compact, with small lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that create a distinctly vertical, airy texture. Capitals are more expressive, featuring occasional loops and extended strokes, while numerals follow the same handwritten flow with simple, open forms.
Well-suited for branding accents, wordmarks, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique packaging where an upscale handwritten touch is desired. It works best for short-to-medium phrases, headers, and pull quotes, and can add a personal signature-like feel to labels or social graphics.
The font reads as personable and refined—like quick, confident handwriting dressed up for display. Its energetic slant and looping gestures give it a romantic, expressive tone, while the controlled stroke behavior keeps it feeling polished rather than messy.
Designed to emulate fluid, natural handwriting with a slightly formal, calligraphic finish. The intent appears to balance expressiveness (looped capitals, long extenders, hooked terminals) with enough consistency to remain usable for display typography.
Letterforms maintain a consistent forward motion and spacing, producing a light, rhythmic line in longer text. The small lowercase with prominent extenders means it tends to look more delicate at small sizes but becomes graceful and highly legible at display sizes, especially where the swashier capitals can breathe.
