A flowing handwritten script with a delicate, pen-like stroke and pronounced swells on curves and downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender, with long ascenders/descenders and generous use of loops in capitals and in characters like g, y, and z. The rhythm is quick and slightly bouncy, with a forward slant and irregular stroke distribution that feels naturally written rather than constructed. Spacing is compact overall, and the small letters sit relatively low against the tall extenders, giving the text a vertical, wiry texture.
Well suited to short display text such as logos, boutique branding, packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works for pull quotes and headings where a personal, handwritten tone is desired, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for longer supporting text.
The tone is informal and personable, with an airy, flirtatious elegance that reads as modern hand-lettering. It balances sweetness and energy—more like a quick note or signature than a formal calligraphic script—making it feel approachable and expressive.
Designed to emulate quick cursive handwriting with a refined, fashion-forward feel—prioritizing personality and motion over strict uniformity. The tall proportions, looping capitals, and pen-like contrast suggest an intention to deliver signature-style expressiveness for display use.
Capitals are notably decorative and taller than the lowercase, functioning well as initial letters. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, single-stroke forms and minimal ornament, keeping the overall color light and uncluttered.
