A flowing handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapering strokes that mimic a quick pen or brush. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional looped constructions, especially in ascenders and descenders. Capitals are tall and expressive, often formed with single sweeping gestures and extended cross-strokes, while lowercase maintains an open, lightly connected rhythm with generous white space. Stroke endings are sharp and tapered, giving the forms a crisp, airy finish and an overall refined texture in text.
Well-suited to short display applications where its sweeping capitals and signature-like flow can shine—such as branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for social media graphics and headers where a personal, handwritten accent is needed, with careful spacing to accommodate extended strokes.
The font conveys a graceful, personable tone—like a polished signature or a carefully written note. Its light touch and sweeping movement feel romantic and upscale, while the informal handwriting character keeps it approachable rather than formal.
Designed to emulate stylish contemporary cursive handwriting with a refined, calligraphic finish. The emphasis appears to be on expressive word shapes, elegant movement, and a signature-like presence rather than neutral text economy.
Connections between letters appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, creating a lively baseline rhythm. Some capitals and long crossbars (notably on letters like T and F) extend horizontally and can become prominent in dense settings, contributing to a distinctive, gestural word shape.
