First Encounter is a fine signature handwriting script — the kind of cursive you'd recognise 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.
