A flowing cursive with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, pen-like strokes. Letterforms lean on oval bowls, tapered entries and exits, and frequent looped constructions, giving the alphabet a continuous, rhythmic movement in text. Stroke modulation is moderate, with slightly heavier downstrokes and finer turns, and many capitals feature extended lead-in strokes and gentle swash-like terminals. Proportions emphasize long ascenders and descenders with compact lowercase bodies, producing a lively baseline presence and a distinctly handwritten cadence.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where a personal, refined script is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, beauty or lifestyle branding, and pull quotes. It performs best with generous spacing and sizes that let the loops and entry strokes stay clear.
The tone feels intimate and polished, like neat handwriting intended for presentation. Its looping forms and soft terminals read as romantic and welcoming, while the controlled rhythm keeps it from becoming overly casual.
The design appears intended to emulate confident, practiced handwriting with a calligraphic sensibility—combining smooth connectivity, graceful loops, and expressive capitals to deliver an elegant script for display-oriented typography.
Capitals are prominent and expressive, helping with emphasis in titles, while the lowercase maintains a steady cursive flow with clear joins in common letter sequences. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly curved constructions that match the slanted rhythm of the letters.
