A flowing script with a quick, pen-drawn rhythm and a consistently slender stroke. Letterforms are strongly slanted with long, tapering entry and exit strokes, frequent loops, and occasional high crossbars that extend into neighboring space. The uppercase set is notably tall and gestural, using large oval bowls and sweeping terminals, while the lowercase is compact with delicate joins and open counters. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple single-stroke forms with occasional curls and varied sidebearings.
Well-suited to identity work that needs a human, handwritten signature feel, as well as invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle packaging. It performs especially well in short phrases, headlines, and pull quotes where its looping capitals and sweeping terminals can be featured.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like rapid but practiced handwriting. Its loops and swashes add a touch of elegance and romance without feeling overly formal, giving it a friendly, expressive presence.
Designed to capture the immediacy of cursive handwriting while remaining visually consistent across the alphabet. The emphasis appears to be on graceful motion—tall capitals, compact lowercase, and extended strokes that create a stylish, personal mark.
The design relies on a lively baseline and variable character widths, producing an organic texture in text. Capitals can become dominant at larger sizes, and long ascenders/cross-strokes create a distinctly horizontal sweep that works best with generous spacing and room to breathe.
