A flowing cursive with a consistent rightward slant and brushlike stroke behavior. Letterforms are built from smooth, looping joins and rounded terminals, with moderate stroke modulation that suggests a pen or brush. Ascenders and descenders are long and expressive, giving the line a tall, airy silhouette, while lowercase counters stay compact. Capitals are simplified but prominent, with swashy entry strokes and occasional extended loops that stand out in headings.
Works best for display sizes where the loops and long extenders can read clearly—event invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, packaging labels, and social graphics. It can also suit short subheads or emphasized words in editorial layouts, especially when ample line spacing is available.
The overall tone feels personable and upbeat, like neat informal handwriting used for notes, invitations, and boutique branding. Its rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, balancing elegance with approachability rather than formality.
Designed to capture the feel of smooth, everyday cursive handwriting with a touch of flourish. The emphasis on flowing joins, elongated extenders, and gentle stroke modulation suggests an intent to feel natural and expressive while remaining legible in short-to-medium text runs.
Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, open shapes and a slight slant that harmonizes with the lowercase. Spacing and connections create a continuous texture in text, while the longer extenders can add flourish and movement in short phrases.
