A flowing handwritten script with slender, high-contrast strokes and a lively baseline rhythm. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions, long ascenders/descenders, and frequent looped terminals and entry strokes. Curves are smooth and continuous, and many characters show informal, pen-like joins in running text, while capitals feature larger, more gestural swashes and open counters. Spacing stays relatively tight, giving words a cohesive, ribbon-like texture despite noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation typical of hand lettering.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, product labels, and boutique-style logos. It also works for headings and pull quotes where the decorative capitals and looping connections can be appreciated, rather than for dense body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and slightly playful, balancing a refined calligraphic feel with casual, personal charm. Its looping forms and gentle swashes suggest invitations, notes, and boutique branding rather than formal corporate typography.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, modern hand lettering with a calligraphic pen flavor—prioritizing personality, elegant motion, and decorative initial forms for display-oriented typography.
Capitals tend to be more decorative and larger in presence than the lowercase, which can create strong initial-letter emphasis in titles. Numerals are slender and stylized, matching the script’s airy stroke weight and curved terminals.
