A fluid, slanted script with a light, pen-like stroke and gentle contrast that suggests natural pressure changes rather than rigid modulation. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, giving lines a high, airy rhythm. Strokes favor smooth curves and open counters, with frequent looped entries and exits; connections are suggested in many lowercase forms but remain irregular enough to feel handwritten rather than formally calligraphic. Terminals are mostly tapered and rounded, with occasional extended cross-strokes (notably on capitals and the lowercase t) that add flourish without becoming heavy.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where a handwritten signature feel is desirable: branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations and stationery, social headers, and editorial pull quotes. In longer paragraphs or small sizes, the tall proportions and small lowercase body can reduce readability, so it performs strongest when given room and generous size.
The overall tone feels personal and expressive—like quick, confident handwriting refined for display. Its tall proportions and looping gestures read as elegant and romantic, while the relaxed joins and slight irregularities keep it approachable and informal.
Likely drawn to capture a graceful, signature-style cursive that balances elegance with everyday informality. The design prioritizes expressive motion, tall proportions, and looped gestures to create distinctive word-shapes for display use.
Capitals are more decorative and gestural than the lowercase, often using larger loops and longer lead-in/lead-out strokes, which can create prominent word-shapes in headings. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with simple, open forms that match the script’s light texture.
