A slanted, handwritten cursive with long, tapered entry and exit strokes and a generally monoline feel. Letterforms are compact and narrow with a notably small x-height, while ascenders and descenders extend generously to create a tall, airy rhythm. Strokes flow with smooth loops and occasional sharp, calligraphic turns; cross-strokes and terminals often sweep forward, giving the line a continuous, fast-written texture. Spacing is relatively open for a script, and the numerals follow the same angled, lightly flourished construction.
Well-suited for signature-style wordmarks, boutique branding, invitations and announcements, and short headlines where the flowing strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging accents and pull quotes when set with ample tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone reads intimate and elegant, like a neat personal signature or a polished handwritten note. Its long swashes and buoyant loops add a romantic, slightly vintage sensibility without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate quick, confident cursive handwriting with a refined finish—balancing legibility with expressive loops and sweeping terminals for a stylish, signature-like presence.
Capitals are more expressive and flourish-driven than the lowercase, making them effective as anchors at the start of words. The combination of short lowercase bodies and tall extenders produces strong vertical movement, which can feel graceful at display sizes but visually light in dense text settings.
