A lively cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show gentle swelling and tapering, with rounded terminals and occasional hooked entries and exits that create smooth linking between letters. Uppercase forms are tall and expressive with long curves and loops, while lowercase is compact with narrow bowls and a tight rhythm; ascenders and descenders are long and flowing, adding vertical energy. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with open curves and simple, swept shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a human, handwritten voice is desired—logos, boutique branding, product packaging, invitation suites, and social posts. It can also work for pull quotes or brief subheads when set with generous spacing and enough size to preserve the delicate joins.
The overall tone is warm and informal, reading like quick, confident handwriting. Its looping capitals and energetic connections give it a personable, slightly romantic character that feels more expressive than formal.
Designed to emulate modern brush handwriting with fluent connectivity and expressive capitals, aiming for a personal signature-like presence in display settings. The narrow, tall construction and rhythmic slant emphasize speed, elegance, and a handcrafted feel.
Letterforms maintain consistent motion and baseline flow, but keep small irregularities typical of hand-drawn scripts, which adds authenticity. The narrow proportions and tall extenders make it feel elegant in line, while the brushy joins keep it approachable.
