A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a pen-like, calligraphic stroke. Letterforms alternate between thin hairlines and thicker downstrokes, creating a lively rhythm and crisp contrast. Proportions are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders and tight, efficient letter widths; counters stay open enough to keep the texture light. Capitals are more expressive and swashy, while lowercase forms favor smooth joins and tapered terminals that resemble quick, confident handwriting.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, boutique branding, and beauty/lifestyle packaging. It works best at display sizes where the delicate hairlines and flourished capitals can be appreciated; for longer passages, generous spacing and larger sizes help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate—more like a neat handwritten signature than a formal engraved script. Its lightness and flourished caps give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the energetic slant keeps it casual and friendly rather than ceremonial.
Designed to capture the look of elegant, everyday penmanship with a refined calligraphic finish. The goal appears to be a lightweight, stylish script that can add personality and sophistication to headings and signature-like applications without feeling overly formal.
Stroke endings frequently taper to fine points, and several letters use prominent entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, forward-moving line in words. Numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and slant, with simple, handwritten shapes that match the text texture.
