A delicate cursive script with a steep rightward slant and a fine, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders, generous loops, and occasional hairline entry/exit strokes that create an airy texture. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular in spacing and stroke direction, reinforcing a hand-drawn feel while keeping a consistent overall angle and smooth curvature. Capitals are prominent and flourish-prone, often built from single sweeping strokes and open counters.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its fine strokes and swashy capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, event stationery, boutique branding, product packaging, and headline-style accents. It also works well as a secondary script paired with a sturdy serif or sans for contrast in editorial or lifestyle layouts.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, suggesting personal correspondence and upscale, lightweight elegance. Its looping forms and high slant feel romantic and expressive rather than formal or rigid, with a soft, handwritten charm.
Designed to emulate swift, elegant penmanship with an emphasis on tall proportions, looping movement, and expressive capitals. The intent reads as a display script that prioritizes charm and sophistication over utilitarian readability in long passages.
Lowercase appears compact relative to the tall extenders, giving words a rising, filament-like silhouette. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with slender, flowing shapes that suit display contexts more than dense data. The thin strokes and open joins can look especially crisp at larger sizes and with ample tracking.
