A lively cursive script with a right-leaning posture and brush-pen modulation that creates crisp thick–thin contrast. Letterforms are tall and slender, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height that emphasizes the capitals and extenders. Strokes taper into pointed entry/exit terminals, and counters stay open and clean, giving the face an airy rhythm. Connections are fluid in running text, while individual letters retain slightly varied widths and handwritten irregularity for an organic flow.
This script works best for display applications such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, boutique branding, and product packaging where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It can also serve well for short headers, social posts, and logo wordmarks, especially when ample size and whitespace allow the delicate contrast and slender proportions to breathe.
The font reads as warm and personable, like quick, confident handwriting with a polished brush-script finish. Its looping forms and energetic slant give it a cheerful, slightly romantic tone that feels informal but intentional—well-suited to expressive, human-centered messaging.
The design intent appears to be a modern brush-style cursive that captures the spontaneity of handwriting while keeping forms consistent enough for clean, repeatable typography. Its tall proportions and compact lowercase aim to produce elegant word shapes and a graceful, flowing texture in titles and short phrases.
Capitals are prominent and stylized, with sweeping curves that create strong word shapes in titles. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple forms and subtle stroke tapering, keeping them cohesive in short callouts. Spacing appears comfortable in sample text, supporting legibility at display sizes while maintaining a natural, handwritten cadence.
