A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and smooth, brushlike stroke modulation. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies that create a light, airy rhythm. Strokes taper into fine terminals and occasionally swell through curves, with rounded joins, open counters, and gentle entry/exit strokes that suggest quick pen movement. Capitals are simplified but expressive, using sweeping curves and modest flourishes that remain readable in short settings.
Works best for logos, invitations, product packaging, and short headlines where its delicate rhythm and expressive capitals can shine. It also suits pull quotes and social posts, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the thin terminals and tight lowercase proportions remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and personable—more contemporary handwritten than formal copperplate. Its slender, looping forms feel romantic and inviting, with a casual confidence that suits lifestyle and boutique aesthetics.
Designed to capture a refined handwritten look with calligraphic movement—balancing elegance with everyday friendliness. The narrow, slanted forms and tapered terminals aim to deliver a lightweight, modern script that feels factoring and stylish without becoming overly ornate.
In the sample text, spacing feels deliberately loose for a script, helping keep words clear despite the narrow proportions. Some uppercase forms are especially gestural and can become a focal point, while the numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and tapered ends.
