A flowing script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, pen-like construction. Strokes show modest thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage connection in running text. Letterforms are compact and tall relative to the x-height, giving the lowercase a petite core with long ascenders/descenders and a lively, bouncing rhythm. Counters stay open and rounded, while capitals use larger looped gestures and gentle swashes without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten feel is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It performs best at display and subhead sizes where the delicate joins and compact lowercase can remain clear.
The overall tone is personable and graceful—suggesting a handwritten note with a touch of formality. Its soft curves and looping joins read as warm and inviting, while the refined stroke shaping lends a slightly classic, romantic character.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, everyday cursive with a polished, calligraphic finish. It prioritizes fluid continuity and elegant word shapes over strict typographic rigidity, aiming for a natural handwritten voice that still feels curated and consistent.
In the sample text, the connected lowercase creates a smooth word shape, while capitals act as decorative anchors with more pronounced curves and occasional extended strokes. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, leaning and tapering to match the script’s cadence rather than a rigid, mechanical set.
