A flowing script with a lightly slanted, pen-written rhythm and smooth, rounded terminals. Strokes stay relatively even with subtle swelling at curves, and the forms lean on generous loops, occasional swashes, and curved entry/exit strokes that keep lines lively. Capitals are more decorative and open, with tall ascenders and extended curves, while lowercase maintains compact counters and a consistent handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same soft, curving logic and feel integrated with the alphabet rather than strictly geometric.
Well-suited for short to medium display settings where personality matters—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads, especially when ample letterspacing and line spacing are used to preserve the loops and delicate joins.
The overall tone is polished yet personable—decorative without feeling stiff. Its looping forms and soft curves suggest a romantic, slightly nostalgic character, with a playful bounce that reads as inviting and expressive.
Designed to emulate neat, formal handwriting with calligraphic flair, balancing readability with decorative movement. The intention appears to be an expressive script that adds elegance and warmth to display typography while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Connectivity appears selective: many letters imply joining strokes, but the set also reads clearly when used as separate characters, giving it flexibility in mixed-case settings. The shapes prioritize smooth continuity and graceful curves over sharp angles, with flourishes most prominent in capitals and in letters with ascenders/descenders.
