A delicate, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show strong pressure contrast, with hairline entry/exit strokes and thicker downstrokes that taper smoothly at terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and many glyphs use open loops and gently swinging curves that keep the texture light. Connections appear selective rather than fully continuous, creating a flowing line while still reading as individual letters in places.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its tall, slender forms and sharp contrast can stay clear—such as invitations, beauty/fashion branding, packaging accents, and social graphics. It works well for headlines and featured phrases, and can complement a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels intimate and stylish, like quick but practiced handwriting used for notes, invitations, or branding. Its light presence and graceful swashes give it a romantic, boutique character, while the bouncy proportions add a casual, friendly energy.
Designed to capture the look of refined, modern cursive handwriting with a fashion-forward elegance. The intent appears to balance expressive, signature-like capitals and smooth, tapered strokes with enough regularity to remain readable in common pangram-style sentences.
Caps are especially elongated and gestural, standing out with simplified, signature-like constructions. Numerals and punctuation follow the same airy contrast and slanted movement, making the font feel consistent across mixed-case text and display lines.
