A flowing cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and a pen-like rhythm. Strokes are smooth and lightly modulated, with tapered entries and exits and frequent looped forms, especially in capitals. Letterforms are narrow and quick, with long ascenders/descenders and occasional extended cross-strokes and terminals that create a lively, handwritten texture. Spacing is relatively tight and the baseline movement feels organic rather than rigidly geometric.
Best suited to signature treatments, invitations, greeting cards, beauty or boutique branding, and short quote settings where the expressive capitals can shine. It also works well for packaging accents and headers, but is less suited to small-size body text where the narrow forms and tight rhythm can reduce clarity.
The overall tone is intimate and stylish, leaning toward romantic and vintage-leaning handwriting. Its sweeping capitals and airy stroke weight give it a refined, signature-like feel that reads as personal and expressive rather than formal or technical.
Designed to evoke fast, confident handwriting with a calligraphic finish—balancing everyday cursive motion with elevated swashes for display impact. The set appears aimed at creating a distinctive, personal voice for names, titles, and highlight phrases.
Capitals feature prominent swashes and open loops that add drama at larger sizes, while lowercase forms remain lean and brisk. Numerals match the script’s slant and lightness, reading as handwritten figures rather than engineered text numbers.
