A flowing cursive script with a rightward slant and lively, calligraphic stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and slender with pronounced ascenders/descenders, frequent entry/exit strokes, and generous looped bowls in characters like g, y, and Q. Strokes taper to fine terminals and occasionally swell on downstrokes, creating a pen-written rhythm with uneven, hand-drawn texture. Capitals are expressive and upright-to-slanted with simple swashes, while lowercase maintains a consistent connective logic; numerals are similarly curvy and handwritten, with open forms and light, delicate endings.
Best suited to display-sized applications where the delicate joins and tapered terminals can breathe: invitations, greeting cards, boutique or beauty branding, packaging labels, and short quote graphics. It can also work for light editorial accents (pull quotes, section headers) when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels intimate and refined, like a neat personal note written with a flexible pen. Its looping curves and soft terminals add a romantic, slightly vintage charm, while the bouncing rhythm keeps it approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate graceful, everyday penmanship with a polished, calligraphic edge—balancing legibility with decorative loops and expressive capitals for personable display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the connected cursive construction encourages continuous words, especially in mixed-case text. The most distinctive traits are the tall proportions, long looped descenders, and lightly flourished capitals that stand out in headlines or short phrases.
