A fluid handwritten script with smooth, brush-pen curves and a mostly monoline feel, accented by gentle thick–thin modulation on turns and downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and slightly right-leaning, with rounded terminals, frequent entry strokes, and occasional swash-like extensions on capitals. Counters are open and oval, ascenders are tall and looped, and descenders are long with soft, sweeping tails. Spacing is airy for a script, and the rhythm alternates between narrower joins and wider rounded bowls for a natural hand-drawn cadence.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a friendly script voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, lifestyle branding, and packaging labels. It can also work for social media graphics and headers, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with an easygoing elegance that feels conversational rather than formal. Its looping capitals and smooth connections add a lightly romantic, boutique feel, while the brisk stroke rhythm keeps it approachable and modern.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush lettering with consistent shapes and smooth connections, offering a polished handwritten style that remains legible in display sizes while retaining a personal, signature-like character.
Capitals show the most flourish, often using curved lead-in strokes and generous bowls, which makes them strong for initials and short display lines. Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the handwritten texture and keeping the set cohesive.
