A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered entry and exit strokes, and many letters end in long, sweeping terminals. The forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with compact lowercase bodies and relatively small counters that keep words feeling tight and continuous. Capitals are tall and expressive, often featuring looped construction and elongated stems that create a graceful, handwritten silhouette.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where a personal, elegant script is desired. It works best for short headlines, name marks, pull quotes, and accent text rather than dense paragraphs, where its narrow proportions and looping terminals can reduce readability at small sizes.
The overall tone feels intimate and refined, like quick, confident pen lettering used for personal notes or stylish signatures. Its lightness and long, curving terminals give it a soft, romantic character, while the energetic slant keeps it modern and lively.
Designed to mimic expressive pen script with a fashionable, elongated silhouette and decorative terminals. The emphasis appears to be on graceful movement and signature-like personality, providing a stylish handwritten voice for display-oriented typography.
Connectivity is frequent in the lowercase, but spacing and joins remain informal, preserving a natural handwritten texture. Several glyphs feature extended ascenders/descenders and occasional swash-like strokes, which can add drama in short words but may require extra breathing room in tighter layouts.
