A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent entry/exit strokes, giving words a connected rhythm even when some characters remain loosely joined. Proportions are tall and streamlined, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body that emphasizes the vertical sweep. Terminals are tapered and slightly flicked, and bowls and loops stay open and rounded, keeping the texture airy rather than dense.
Well-suited to short, prominent text where its character can lead: logos, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, invitations, and social graphics. It performs best in headlines, names, and pull quotes at moderate to large sizes, where the delicate strokes and looping connections remain clear.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like a quick but practiced signature. Its looping forms and tall vertical motion add a romantic, boutique sensibility, while the light touch keeps it casual and approachable rather than formal.
Designed to evoke natural handwriting with a refined, signature-like cadence. The emphasis on tall proportions, looping joins, and light, tapered strokes suggests an intent to deliver elegance and personality for display use rather than dense, long-form reading.
Uppercase forms read as expressive and gestural, often using extended strokes and broad curves that stand out strongly at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, slightly cursive constructions, maintaining consistent slant and stroke energy across the set.
