A flowing, right-slanted script with a pen-drawn rhythm and lightly modulated strokes. Letterforms are narrow and quick, with long entry/exit strokes and frequent looped joins that give the line a continuous, handwritten cadence. Capitals feature prominent swashes and open counters, while lowercase forms stay compact with small bowls and a restrained, low profile. Terminals are tapered and slightly pointed, contributing to a brisk, brush-pen impression without heavy texture.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a personal, elegant voice is needed—such as invitations, greeting cards, signature-style wordmarks, boutique branding, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or accent text when paired with a simpler companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, with a romantic, note-like warmth. Its swashed capitals and smooth connectivity lend a slightly vintage, formal-leaning feel while still reading as informal handwriting.
Designed to capture a refined handwritten look with continuous cursive movement, emphasizing graceful capitals and smooth word-level flow. The narrow, slanted construction prioritizes an expressive silhouette and a polished, calligraphic presence in display typography.
Spacing and connections are visually consistent, creating a steady baseline flow and lively word shapes. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, staying slim and slanted to match the alphabet, making mixed text feel cohesive.
