A slender, looping script with a smooth, handwritten rhythm and softly tapering terminals. The letterforms are tall and upright-leaning with long ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase bodies, and generous internal curves. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness with subtle contrast at turns, and many characters feature open counters, extended entry/exit strokes, and occasional swash-like crossbars and loops. Spacing is loose and variable in a natural, written way, giving the line a light, floating texture.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a personal, decorative script is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It is particularly effective at larger sizes where the fine strokes and loops remain clear.
The overall tone feels graceful and personal, with a breezy elegance that reads as friendly rather than formal. Its fine lines and looping forms suggest a romantic, whimsical voice—ideal for expressive, human-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to capture a refined handwritten signature feel—light, flowing, and ornamental—while staying readable in display settings. Its proportions and extended strokes emphasize elegance and motion over dense text efficiency.
Uppercase forms show more flourish and height than the lowercase, creating a pronounced cap-to-x-height contrast. Numerals are simple and linear, matching the same delicate stroke and handwritten cadence, and the font maintains a consistent pen-drawn character across both isolated glyphs and running text.
