A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmically spaced, with generous ascenders and descenders that create an airy vertical cadence. Strokes show subtle calligraphic modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional sharp flicks and extended cross-strokes that add momentum. Uppercase forms are larger and more gestural, while lowercase maintains a compact core with delicate, minimalist counters and a consistent handwritten cadence.
Well-suited to short display settings where its swashy capitals and flowing connections can shine, such as invitations, greeting cards, beauty or boutique branding, and packaging accents. It also works for headline-sized quotes or signatures where a personal, elegant touch is desired, rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone reads graceful and personal, like quick, confident handwriting dressed in a more formal, calligraphic outfit. Its looping capitals and soft tapering strokes give it a romantic, invitation-like charm while still feeling lively and spontaneous.
Designed to evoke natural handwriting with a refined, calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing movement, graceful connections, and expressive capitals to create a polished yet personal display script.
Several capitals feature prominent swashes and long lead-in strokes that can create distinctive word silhouettes. The numerals follow the same cursive logic, with slanted, lightly modulated strokes and open shapes that keep the texture light in running text.
