A slender, right-leaning script with a smooth, pen-written rhythm and gently tapered terminals. Strokes alternate between hairline connections and slightly heavier downstrokes, creating a soft calligraphic contrast without feeling formal. Letterforms are compact and open, with generous curves, occasional looped bowls, and long ascending/descending strokes that give the line a buoyant flow. Connection behavior is loose and selective: many lowercase letters link with thin entry/exit strokes, while capitals often stand more independently with flourish-like starts and finishes.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where its flowing joins and tall extenders can be appreciated—such as invitations, signature-style branding, boutique packaging, social graphics, and quote treatments. It also works well for headings and subheads paired with a restrained sans or serif for longer reading.
The font feels personal and lightly theatrical, like quick, confident handwriting dressed up with calligraphic gestures. Its tone is romantic and nimble rather than solemn, conveying a sense of spontaneity and charm while still reading as polished.
Designed to emulate swift cursive handwriting with a refined, calligraphic edge, balancing graceful flourishes with legibility. The overall construction prioritizes expressive motion and a signature-like presence over uniform, text-face regularity.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, making them effective for initial caps and emphasis. The lowercase has a small body relative to the tall extenders, so spacing and line height benefit from a bit of breathing room to avoid collisions in dense settings.
