A flowing, pen-written script with a pronounced rightward slant and a delicate, airy color. Strokes read as lightly drawn with tapered entry and exit terminals that suggest quick, continuous pen movement rather than rigid construction. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with tall ascenders/descenders and small interior counters that keep the rhythm tight. Capitals are larger and more gestural, using long lead-in strokes and occasional open loops, while lowercase forms keep a steady, connected cursive cadence with occasional breaks at joins.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display settings where a personal, elegant script is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging callouts, and signature-style logotypes. It performs best when given generous spacing and size, allowing the thin strokes and tight counters to remain clear.
The overall tone feels refined and intimate, like a neat personal note or a stylish signature. Its narrow, lively rhythm and soft terminals add a romantic, gentle character without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate a refined, fast cursive hand with a signature-like presence—prioritizing graceful motion, tall proportions, and delicate terminals to create an expressive, upscale handwritten voice.
The alphabet shows a consistent handwritten logic with single-storey cursive structures and frequent looped descenders (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same script sensibility, with curved forms and light finishing strokes that keep them visually aligned with the letters.
