A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant, long ascenders and descenders, and energetic entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from swift, calligraphic curves with noticeable thick–thin modulation, creating a light-on-its-feet texture. Many glyphs show open counters and narrow internal spacing, while capitals introduce larger gestures and occasional swash-like curves. Overall rhythm feels quick and handwritten, with slightly varied stroke endings and a smooth, continuous baseline flow in text.
Well suited to invitations, greeting cards, and small headline treatments where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It can work effectively for boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging accents, and social or editorial pull-quotes, especially when given generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its light, high-contrast detail.
The font reads as personal and stylish, balancing softness with a confident, fashion-leaning flair. Its looping forms and brisk stroke rhythm give it a romantic, note-like tone that can also feel upbeat and inviting in short phrases.
Designed to emulate quick, elegant penmanship with a graceful slant and flowing connections, prioritizing charm and motion over rigid uniformity. The forms aim to provide a polished handwritten look that stays readable in short to medium text settings while offering expressive capitals for emphasis.
Capitals are comparatively expressive and tall, standing out with more dramatic curves and longer lead-in strokes than the lowercase. Numerals follow the same airy, handwritten logic, staying simple and lightly drawn so they don’t overpower surrounding text.
