A flowing cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and a smooth, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are compact and tall with a notably small x-height, long ascenders and descenders, and frequent looped joins and entry/exit strokes. Capitals show generous swashes and soft, rounded terminals, while lowercase forms keep a consistent rhythm with narrow counters and occasional open connections that preserve clarity in longer words. Numerals are also cursive in spirit, featuring simplified curves and modest flourish that keeps them visually aligned with the letters.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, and short expressive headlines where swashy capitals can shine. It also works for boutique branding, packaging accents, and social media graphics that want a personal, handwritten signature tone, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is warm and personable, balancing elegance with an informal handwritten charm. Its looping forms and swashy capitals give it a romantic, slightly vintage feel that reads as crafted rather than mechanical.
The font appears designed to emulate quick, confident cursive writing with a consistent slant and graceful loops, offering a polished handwritten look that remains readable in phrases and short passages.
The design emphasizes motion and continuity: many glyphs lean on extended lead-in strokes and curved joins, creating a lively baseline flow. The compact internal spaces and narrow proportions make it feel nimble, but it benefits from a little breathing room in spacing for best legibility.
