A flowing cursive hand with a pronounced rightward slant and a quick, pen-drawn rhythm. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, creating a delicate, calligraphic texture. Letterforms are narrow and lively, with frequent loops in ascenders and descenders and occasional flourish-like strokes on capitals. Spacing is compact but not rigid, with subtle irregularities that preserve a handwritten feel while maintaining consistent overall color in words and lines.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display settings where an elegant handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging, and pull quotes. It performs best at larger sizes where the fine hairlines, loops, and swashy capitals remain clear.
The font reads as graceful and personable, combining a refined calligraphic impression with informal handwritten warmth. Its looping forms and soft, tapered finishes give it a romantic, boutique tone that feels expressive rather than strictly formal.
Designed to emulate a fast, confident cursive signature with calligraphic contrast, providing an expressive script for stylish, personal-facing typography. The intention appears to balance legibility with flourish, offering decorative capitals and smooth word flow for headline use.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, featuring extended entry/exit strokes and occasional cross-strokes that add emphasis at the start of words. Numerals follow the same pen logic with curving forms and slender joins, matching the script’s motion and contrast.
