A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and high-contrast strokes that shift between hairline upstrokes and fuller downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a notably small x-height, giving the design a vertical, airy texture. Terminals frequently finish in tapered points or soft, brush-like teardrops, with occasional loops and swashes that add movement without becoming overly ornate. Spacing and widths vary by character, producing a lively rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Well suited to short, prominent text where its tall proportions and contrast can shine—such as invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial-style headlines. It also works well for pull quotes and social graphics, but the small x-height suggests avoiding long body copy or very small sizes.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, balancing refined calligraphic cues with a light, buoyant bounce. It reads as friendly and expressive rather than formal-to-the-point-of-ceremonial, with a slightly vintage handwritten charm.
Designed to emulate a polished handwritten signature feel with calligraphic contrast and a narrow, upward rhythm. The intent appears to be expressive legibility for display settings—delivering elegance and personality through slant, tapering terminals, and selectively flourished forms.
Uppercase forms include several looped entries and open counters that keep large letters from feeling heavy. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted posture, with curving silhouettes that match the script’s soft, hand-drawn character.
