A flowing, brush-inspired script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes often begin and end in tapered points, while heavy downstrokes create teardrop terminals and inky masses that give letters a bold, gestural rhythm. Uppercase forms are highly swashed with generous entry/exit strokes and looping constructions, producing a lively, sometimes overlapping texture in longer words. Lowercase shapes keep a moderate x-height and a connected, cursive flow, with rounded joins and occasional extended descenders that add movement along the baseline.
Best suited for display typography where the large, swashy forms can breathe—logos, brand marks, packaging titles, event invitations, and poster headlines. It performs especially well for short names or punchy phrases where the dramatic capitals and bold rhythm can be the focal point.
The overall tone is theatrical and romantic, with a glossy, vintage sign-painting feel. Its sweeping capitals and dramatic contrast read as expressive and celebratory rather than restrained, lending a sense of flourish and personality to short phrases.
Designed to emulate confident brush lettering with a formal, connected script structure, prioritizing expressive flourish and visual impact. The emphasis on swashed capitals and weighty downstrokes suggests an intention for statement-making display use rather than compact text setting.
At display sizes the thick downstrokes and swashes become the defining feature, creating a dense, high-impact word image. The figures follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled stress and stylized curves that match the script’s momentum.
