A slender cursive script with tall ascenders and descenders, narrow letterforms, and a lively baseline rhythm. Strokes show a brush-pen feel with pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and fine hairline entries/exits, plus tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like joins. Capitals are more gestural and looped than the lowercase, with simplified, open counters and elongated verticals that keep the texture light and spacious. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple strokes with occasional loops and soft curves.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as logos, boutique branding, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It also works for headlines and pull quotes where a handwritten accent is needed, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, balancing a slightly romantic, calligraphic flair with informal handwriting charm. Its bouncy movement and delicate hairlines read friendly and expressive rather than formal or restrained.
Designed to evoke a modern brush-script handwriting style that feels personal and handcrafted, with elegant loops and energetic stroke contrast for decorative display use.
Connections between letters are intermittent, so words read as a semi-joined script with clear individual shapes. The thin hairlines and tight internal spaces suggest it will look best when given room to breathe and when not set too small or tightly tracked.
