A handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lively rightward slant. Strokes show a pen-like rhythm with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, producing an open, airy texture. Letterforms are loosely connected in text, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional looped joins; capitals are taller and more gestural, while lowercase remains compact with small counters and minimal crossbars. Overall spacing is light and irregular in a natural way, reinforcing a written-by-hand cadence rather than rigid typographic uniformity.
Best suited to short, display-oriented settings such as logos, boutique branding, product packaging, event invitations, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work for headers and accent text where a personal, handwritten signature effect is desired, especially at larger sizes that preserve the delicate stroke contrast.
The font reads as friendly and expressive, balancing elegance with an informal, personal tone. Its sweeping capitals and soft curves give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the uneven stroke energy keeps it approachable and conversational.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident handwriting with an elegant flourish—prioritizing expressive capitals, flowing rhythm, and a light, refined texture for personable display typography.
Several glyphs emphasize verticality (notably the narrow uppercase forms and the tall lowercase ascenders), and the numerals follow the same pen-drawn logic with simple, single-stroke constructions. The sample text shows good flow at display sizes, where the hairline strokes and swashes remain legible and decorative without feeling heavy.
