A flowing cursive with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a brush-pen feel. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with occasional teardrop terminals, while heavier downstrokes create a rhythmic, calligraphic texture. Letterforms are slightly slanted with a lively baseline and frequent entry/exit strokes; many glyphs show generous loops and swashes, especially in capitals and descenders. Counters are relatively open, spacing is irregular in a natural handwritten way, and numerals echo the same contrast and curved, drawn rhythm.
Works best for short to medium display text such as wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It’s particularly effective when paired with a simple sans or restrained serif for supporting text and when set at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined yet playful—combining boutique elegance with an informal, handwritten charm. Its looping forms and delicate hairlines suggest a romantic, crafted personality suited to expressive, personality-forward typography.
Designed to emulate expressive brush calligraphy in a clean, repeatable font: dramatic contrast, looping joins, and showy capitals that deliver a personal, handcrafted signature effect.
Capitals read as signature-like display forms with extended lead-in strokes and occasional dramatic curves, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive flow. The contrast and thin connections can look especially delicate at smaller sizes, but become striking when given room to breathe.
