A brush-style script with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes often taper to sharp points at entry/exit, while downstrokes swell into rounded, inky forms, creating a lively texture. Letterforms are tall and slender with a small x-height and long ascenders/descenders; bowls are compact and counters can be tight at smaller sizes. Connections are fluid in the sample text, with occasional broken joins and varied stroke endings that reinforce the handmade feel. Numerals and capitals show more standalone, signlike shapes, mixing simple stems with subtle swashes and curved terminals.
Well-suited to short to medium display settings such as logos, boutique branding, packaging, invitations, quotes, and social posts where an expressive handwritten look is desired. It performs especially well in larger sizes for titles and pull quotes; extended body text may feel busy due to tight counters and fine hairlines.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, balancing a touch of elegance with casual, crafty charm. Its brushy contrast and looping forms suggest a boutique, modern calligraphy sensibility rather than strict formal script, giving headlines a warm, human voice.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush lettering with a polished, catalog-ready consistency. The intent appears to be a versatile display script that feels personal and contemporary, adding energy and charm to prominent typographic moments.
Curves are soft and slightly asymmetric, and many characters rely on tapered hairlines for definition, which can make fine details delicate in small reproduction. The style reads best when given room to breathe, where the lively stroke texture and tall proportions can show clearly.
