First Encounter is a fine signature handwriting script the kind of cursive you'd recognize as a real person's hand on a card or a contract.
Thin, even pen-pressure throughout, with natural connecting strokes between letters and a small upward bounce in the baseline that keeps a single line from feeling rigid. Capitals carry confident loops; lowercase descenders extend just enough to give phrases air. The italic carries a slightly stronger forward lean.
Picture it as the inked sign-off at the bottom of a letterpress invitation, or running across a small velvet jewelry hangtag.
