A lively, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapering ascenders and descenders. Strokes feel pen-drawn with smooth curves, occasional looped counters, and subtle swelling at turns, creating an energetic rhythm rather than strict uniformity. Uppercase letters are taller and more ornamental, often built from single sweeping gestures, while lowercase forms stay compact with narrow joins and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage cursive flow. Numerals match the script’s motion, using simple, slightly irregular forms with a handwritten cadence.
Well-suited for short to medium display settings where a personal, crafted voice is desirable—such as logos, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It can also work for pull quotes and headers when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and intimate, combining a breezy elegance with a casual, human touch. Its looping gestures and quick, expressive terminals give it a romantic, boutique feel without becoming overly formal.
Designed to evoke fast, confident handwriting with graceful flourishes, balancing legibility with expressive motion. The emphasis on tall capitals and flowing connections suggests an intent to deliver a signature-like presence for display typography.
Letterforms show intentional variability typical of handwriting: spacing and stroke endings differ slightly from character to character, which adds charm and movement in longer text. The capitals stand out as signature-like forms and can become prominent in headlines or name-based settings.
