A flowing handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes move from hairline entries to fuller downstrokes, creating crisp contrast and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm typical of natural handwriting. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders; capitals often use open loops and long lead-in/lead-out strokes that add flourish without becoming overly ornate. Connections are mostly continuous in lowercase, while spacing stays open enough for the forms to breathe in longer text.
Well suited to branding moments where a signature-like voice is desirable—logos, boutique packaging, beauty and lifestyle labels, and social media graphics. It can also work for invitations, quotes, and short headlines where its tall, flowing strokes have room to show their character.
The overall tone is warm and personal, with a romantic, note-like quality that still reads polished. Its energetic stroke movement and looping capitals give it an expressive, boutique feel suitable for signature-style messaging rather than formal text typography.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident brush handwriting with elevated, display-friendly capitals. The emphasis appears to be on expressive flow and an elegant silhouette for short-form messaging and identity work.
Several capitals feature extended cross strokes and curved entry strokes that can create strong horizontal motion and occasional overlaps in tight settings. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same handwritten logic, with simplified, quick forms that match the script’s momentum.
