A flowing cursive hand with a consistent rightward slant and a delicate, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are narrow and lively, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating a tall, airy rhythm. Strokes show gentle thick–thin modulation and frequent tapered terminals, while joins and entry/exit strokes encourage connective writing in mixed-case text. Capitals are more flourished and gestural, standing taller with open curves and occasional looping details; figures are similarly handwritten, simple, and slightly varied in width.
Works well for invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where a handwritten signature feel is desired. It’s best in headlines, short phrases, pull quotes, and personal notes, particularly at medium to large sizes where its fine strokes and compact lowercase remain clear.
The overall tone feels personal and informal while still leaning refined, like quick but practiced handwriting. Its light, looping motion gives a slightly vintage, letter-writing character, suited to expressive and human-facing messaging rather than strict neutrality.
Designed to emulate quick, connected handwriting with a lightly calligraphic touch—prioritizing flow, personality, and an authentic pen-on-paper impression. The tall proportions and flourished capitals aim to add charm and emphasis without becoming overly formal.
Spacing and stroke behavior suggest it’s happiest in short runs where the natural irregularity and tall extenders can breathe. The stronger, more decorative capitals can become focal points, especially at larger sizes, while the lowercase maintains a soft, understated texture.
