A flowing script with a brush-pen feel, built from rounded strokes and soft, taper-like terminals. Letterforms lean forward with an elastic rhythm and frequent loops, especially in ascenders and entry/exit strokes. Capitals are prominent and gestural, while lowercase stays compact with small counters and simplified joins that read as continuous handwriting. Numerals match the script tone, using curved shapes and light flourishes for a cohesive, handwritten texture.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, suggesting informal notes, invitations, and upbeat lifestyle branding. Its energetic slant and looping forms give it a playful, slightly romantic character without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a polished consistency, balancing expressive loops and readable shapes for everyday display use.
Stroke joins are smooth and consistent, creating a continuous line quality even where letters appear separated in display settings. The ampersand and several capitals show decorative swashes that add personality, while maintaining an even color on the page in longer text samples.
