A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and brushlike stroke behavior. Letterforms are built from long, tapered entry and exit strokes, with moderate stroke modulation that suggests quick, confident pen movement. Proportions emphasize tall ascenders and descenders with compact lowercase bodies, while capitals are larger and more calligraphic, often featuring extended swashes and open counters. Rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in width, giving the alphabet a natural handwritten cadence while remaining visually consistent across the set.
This style suits short to medium text where character and motion are more important than dense readability—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and display headlines. It also works well for pull quotes or social graphics when given ample size and spacing to let the loops and terminals breathe.
The overall tone feels personable and expressive, blending casual handwriting energy with a refined, romantic finish. Its sweeping capitals and airy loops lean toward a classic, slightly nostalgic charm rather than a rigid formal script.
The design appears intended to mimic confident, everyday cursive writing with a polished, calligraphic flair—prioritizing flow, expressiveness, and attractive word shapes for display-driven typography.
Several glyphs rely on generous terminals and elongated joins that create a strong horizontal flow in words. The numerals follow the same cursive logic, with curved forms and subtle swashes that keep them stylistically aligned with the letters.
