A flowing, right-slanted script with smooth, pen-like curves and lightly modulated strokes. Letterforms are narrow and compact, with a lively baseline bounce and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage connection in running text. Ascenders are tall and prominent while the x-height stays noticeably small, giving the lowercase a delicate, airy feel. Capitals are more open and gestural, mixing simple swashes with restrained loops rather than heavy ornamentation.
Well-suited to short display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desirable—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It works best at larger sizes where the tight joins, small x-height, and narrow proportions remain clear.
The overall tone feels warm and personable, like quick but confident handwriting. Its rhythmic slant and looping joins add a light romantic charm while staying informal and approachable rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to mimic natural cursive handwriting with a consistent rightward motion and fluid connections, balancing legibility with expressive loops and a lively, penned texture.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the connected structure increases texture density in longer lines, especially around looped letters and tall ascenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with simplified, slanted forms that match the script’s cadence.
