A flowing handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, brush-like curves with occasional sharp terminals and subtle stroke taper, creating a lively rhythm across words. Capitals are tall and gestural with extended arcs and cross-strokes, while lowercase forms stay compact with small counters and intermittent joining behavior that alternates between connected flow and clean separations. Numerals match the script’s angle and light touch, using simple, handwritten constructions and open shapes.
Well-suited to short display settings where its swashes and slanted motion can read clearly—such as brand marks, beauty/fashion packaging, event invitations, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It works best when given generous tracking/line spacing and used sparingly rather than in long paragraphs.
The overall tone feels refined yet informal—like quick, confident handwriting dressed up with calligraphic flair. Its looping capitals and long swashes add a romantic, boutique sensibility, while the light strokes keep it airy and modern.
Designed to emulate fast, stylish pen/brush handwriting with an emphasis on dramatic capitals and flowing movement. The goal appears to be a personal signature-like feel that still presents as polished and deliberate in display typography.
Spacing and connections feel intentionally loose, giving the texture a natural, written cadence rather than a fully continuous script. The tall ascenders and extended horizontals (notably in capitals and some crossbars) create a distinctive, sweeping silhouette that becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
