A flowing, brush-like italic with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered terminals. Letters are slightly narrow with a lively, variable rhythm, pairing rounded bowls with sharp, teardrop-like endings and occasional entry/exit flicks. Capitals carry gentle swashes and asymmetric curves, while the lowercase stays compact with a relatively low x-height and open counters that keep forms readable despite the expressive contrast.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and swashy details can breathe, such as headlines, packaging, posters, and editorial titling. It also fits invitations and event materials that want a refined handwritten feel. For longer passages, it works most comfortably in short excerpts or pull quotes where the expressive rhythm remains a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone feels elegant yet playful, with a hand-rendered charm that reads as literary and slightly theatrical. Its sweeping curves and pointed terminals evoke a vintage, storybook sensibility rather than a strict formal script, giving text a personable, animated voice.
The design appears intended to translate a quick, confident calligraphy or brush-pen gesture into a consistent alphabet, balancing legibility with decorative terminals and a pronounced rightward motion. It aims to provide a distinctive, personable texture for prominent text while maintaining enough structure for common words and numerals.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in the way typical of drawn lettering, with some glyphs leaning into longer descenders and curvier joins that create a bouncy baseline texture. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic, matching the letterforms in contrast and curvature for cohesive headings and short lines.
