A flowing handwritten script with a slanted, calligraphic rhythm and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders/descenders, compact lowercase, and generous internal whitespace that keeps words feeling open. Strokes show tapered entries and exits with occasional heavier downstrokes, plus frequent loops and soft terminals that mimic quick pen movement. Capitals are expressive and often stand alone as drawn forms rather than fully connecting, while the lowercase generally connects with smooth joins and a slightly bouncy baseline.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where personality matters: brand marks, product packaging, invitations, social graphics, and pull quotes. It is especially effective when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body text, letting the script provide contrast and accent.
The overall tone is light, personable, and elegant, balancing casual handwriting with a hint of refinement. Its looping shapes and gentle flourishes give it a romantic, boutique feel without becoming overly formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush-pen lettering while keeping a consistent, readable rhythm across words. The narrow proportions and tall structure suggest an aim toward stylish, space-efficient display settings with expressive initials and smooth connecting cursive.
Distinctive swashes appear in several capitals and select lowercase letters, creating natural emphasis in initials and short phrases. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional curls that match the script’s motion.
