A slanted cursive script with a light, pen-drawn stroke and gently varying thickness. Letterforms are narrow and tall-leaning, with open counters and smooth, continuous curves that alternate between long upstrokes and slightly heavier downstrokes. Ascenders and descenders are prominent, creating an airy vertical rhythm, while joins are selective rather than fully connected, preserving legibility in mixed-case text. Terminals tend toward tapered, brush-like flicks and soft hooks, giving the shapes a quick, handwritten finish.
This font suits short to medium-length text where a personal, handwritten impression is desirable—such as invitations, greeting cards, small packaging elements, pull quotes, and social media graphics. It performs best at display and large text sizes where the fine strokes and loops can remain clear.
The overall tone feels personal and informal, like a neat note written with a fine pen. Its looping forms and flowing cadence read as warm and slightly romantic, while the narrow, upright-leaning rhythm keeps it tidy rather than exuberant.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, elegant pen handwriting with a controlled slant and a refined, airy rhythm. It balances decorative swashes in capitals with relatively restrained lowercase forms to stay readable while still feeling unmistakably handwritten.
Capitals are expressive with sweeping entry strokes and occasional internal loops, adding signature-like character at the start of words. Numerals follow the same cursive logic with simple, handwritten forms and modest ornamentation, keeping them consistent with the text color.
