A slanted, handwritten script with smooth, brush-like strokes and softly rounded turns. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with a tight overall footprint, while ascenders and descenders add a lively vertical rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with subtle swelling at curves and tapered terminals that suggest quick pen or brush lift-offs. Connections are common in lowercase, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional open joins that keep words airy rather than fully continuous.
Well-suited to short-to-medium phrases where a handwritten tone is desirable, such as branding accents, packaging labels, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics. It works best at display sizes where the lively joins and loop details can stay clear, and as a complementary script paired with a simple sans or serif for longer text blocks.
The font reads as informal and personable, with an energetic, conversational flow. Its looping forms and gentle swashes add a light romantic feel without becoming overly ornate, making it feel approachable and modern-handmade rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to mimic fast, confident handwriting with a brush-pen feel, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The goal appears to be a versatile casual script that can add warmth and personality while staying clean enough for everyday promotional and lifestyle applications.
Capitals are larger and more gestural than the lowercase, often built from single sweeping strokes that create distinctive silhouettes. Counters are generally open and rounded, and several letters feature playful loops that increase texture in longer lines of text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, maintaining the slant and rounded terminals for a cohesive set.
