A fluid, cursive script with a monoline feel and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and rounded with frequent looped joins and soft entry/exit terminals, creating continuous word shapes in lowercase. Uppercase forms are more open and simplified, behaving like lightly embellished handwritten capitals rather than formal swash caps. Overall spacing is generous with a slightly springy baseline rhythm, and the numerals follow the same handwritten, lightly curved construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the connected script can form clear, flowing word silhouettes—such as invitations, wedding materials, greeting cards, boutique packaging, and pull quotes. It also works well for signature-style lines, headers, and accent text paired with a neutral sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is refined yet informal—like neat personal handwriting dressed up for invitations or branding. Its looping connections and soft terminals lend a romantic, friendly warmth, while the restrained stroke weight keeps it calm and understated.
Designed to emulate clean, contemporary cursive handwriting with a touch of classic calligraphic poise. The intention appears to be an approachable script that reads smoothly in phrases while preserving a delicate, airy texture.
The connected lowercase carries most of the personality, with prominent loops in letters such as g, y, and z that add movement without becoming overly ornate. Round counters and smooth curves dominate, and the figures and capitals integrate well with the script texture for mixed-case settings.
