A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are built from swift, tapered curves and long entry/exit strokes, with occasional hairline connections and looping joins that create a continuous rhythm in words. Proportions are compact and upright in their footprint, while ascenders and capitals stretch tall, giving the design a vertical, graceful profile. Counters are open and rounded, and many terminals finish in fine points or soft flicks, reinforcing a hand-drawn cadence.
Well suited to short, expressive text where personality is the priority—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and pull quotes. It performs best at display sizes where the thin strokes and cursive joins remain clear, and where its tall capitals can be used as visual accents.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like quick, stylish handwriting used for personal notes or upscale signatures. Its motion-forward forms suggest spontaneity while still reading as polished and deliberate, balancing charm with a lightly formal presence.
The design appears intended to capture the look of quick calligraphy or refined personal handwriting, emphasizing fluid connections, graceful slant, and elegant capital gestures. It prioritizes expressive line quality and a signature-like presence over neutral, paragraph-oriented readability.
Uppercase letters show more flourish and gesture than the lowercase, with several capitals featuring extended swashes that can dominate a line when used at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simplified, slightly calligraphic shapes that match the script’s rhythm.
