A flowing cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-pen construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered entry/exit terminals and occasional sharp, pointed joins that mimic quick handwriting. Letterforms are compact and upright in proportion, with a relatively low x-height against tall ascenders and deep descenders, creating a lively vertical rhythm. Connections are smooth in running text, while capitals are more gestural and slightly more open, helping starts of words stand out.
This script suits logos and wordmarks, boutique packaging, invitations and greeting materials, and short display lines such as quotes or social graphics. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes where its contrast and delicate joins remain clear, and where the tall ascenders/descenders can add elegance to the layout.
The font reads as intimate and expressive, like a neat signature or a handwritten note written with a flexible pen. Its high-contrast strokes and graceful loops lend a romantic, polished tone, while the brisk slant keeps it energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture a polished, modern handwritten look with brush-calligraphy contrast—balancing legibility with expressive movement for display-oriented typography.
In the sample text, spacing is tight and the overall color is light-to-medium, with frequent tapering that gives a crisp, airy texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slender and slightly cursive in feel.
