A flowing script with a gentle rightward slant and calligraphic stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from long, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage joining, while individual glyph widths vary noticeably for a lively rhythm. Ascenders and descenders are prominent and often finish in soft hooks or loops, and several capitals use extended lead-in strokes and subtle swashes. Terminals are rounded and tapered, with occasional thicker downstrokes that add a handwritten pen feel without looking rigidly constructed.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a handwritten personality is desired, such as invitations, cards, quotes, gift packaging, and lifestyle branding. It can work in headlines and pull quotes, while smaller sizes benefit from comfortable spacing to preserve the delicate joins and loops.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a light, conversational character. Its looping forms and soft terminals lend a romantic, note-like warmth, while the bouncy spacing and varied widths keep it relaxed rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture the ease of quick, confident pen lettering—balancing legibility with expressive loops and graceful swashes. It prioritizes a natural, handwritten rhythm and charming word shapes for personal and decorative messaging.
Capitals tend to be more expressive than the lowercase, using longer cross-strokes and flourish-like openings that create strong word-shape signatures. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open curves and slightly uneven proportions that match the script’s organic cadence.
