A slanted cursive script with a brush-pen feel, combining tapered hairlines with thicker, pressure-driven downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and relatively narrow, with quick, angular joins and occasional open counters that keep the rhythm light. Capitals are larger and more gestural than the lowercase, using long entry strokes and looped swashes, while the lowercase stays small and tight with short bodies and lively, flicking terminals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same flowing stroke logic, maintaining a consistent handwritten cadence across the set.
Well-suited to short-form display settings where personality is the goal, such as branding marks, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and editorial or social headlines. It works best in larger sizes and with enough line spacing to accommodate tall strokes and sweeping capitals.
The overall tone is refined and expressive—confident strokes and dramatic capitals suggest a romantic, signature-like character. Its brisk slant and high-contrast motion give it a slightly vintage, fashion-forward energy while still feeling personal and hand-drawn.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, confident brush handwriting with a polished, calligraphic edge—prioritizing expressive word shapes and standout capitals for display use rather than long, text-heavy reading.
Stroke endings often finish in sharp, tapered points, and several letters feature extended ascenders/descenders that create a dynamic, dancing line. Spacing appears moderately tight, which helps the script feel cohesive in words, but the energetic shapes can become visually dense at smaller sizes.
