A slanted, brush-pen script with flowing, semi-connected construction and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show sharp tapered entries and exits, smooth looping joins, and occasional flicked terminals that add momentum. Counters are generally open and rounded, while capitals are taller and more gestural, giving the alphabet a lively baseline rhythm and a handwritten consistency that still feels intentional and repeatable.
This style is well suited to short, prominent text where the expressive stroke contrast and looping forms can be appreciated—such as invitations, event materials, boutique branding, packaging accents, and display headlines. It works best at medium to large sizes, where the slender hairlines and tight proportions remain clear.
The overall tone is expressive and personable, with a refined, boutique feel rather than a casual marker look. Its sweeping curves and high-contrast strokes suggest romance and celebration, while the energetic terminals keep it upbeat and contemporary.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident brush calligraphy in a clean digital form—capturing handwritten charm while maintaining consistent spacing and repeatable shapes for display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple monoline skeletons with added contrast, helping them pair naturally with the lowercase. Numerals follow the same cursive logic with tilted, loop-friendly shapes that feel cohesive in invitations or headline settings.
