A flowing handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and lightly brush-like strokes. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and a relatively small lowercase body, creating an airy, elegant rhythm. Strokes show subtle thick–thin behavior from pen angle and pressure, with rounded terminals, occasional tapered entries, and generous looping in capitals and select lowercase forms. Spacing is slightly irregular in a natural way, and the overall texture stays light and open rather than dense.
Well-suited for short to medium headlines where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as boutique branding, packaging labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and display text, especially when paired with a calm sans or serif for supporting copy.
The font reads as friendly and personal, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes or signatures. Its looping capitals and energetic slant give it a romantic, slightly vintage tone, while the light stroke weight keeps it approachable and informal.
Designed to emulate neat, stylish penmanship with a light, graceful stroke and expressive capitals, aiming for an elegant handwritten look that remains legible in display settings.
Capitals are expressive and often more flourish-driven than the lowercase, which stays simpler and more compact for readability. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with curved, open shapes, and the overall line feel is smooth and continuous even when letters are not strictly connected.
