A brush-inspired script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes that often end in hairline flicks. Letterforms are upright with a narrow overall footprint and a lively, uneven rhythm; bowls and loops alternate between compact counters and open, sweeping curves. Strokes show a hand-drawn texture feel through soft, rounded terminals and occasional spur-like flicks, while many glyphs suggest partial connections rather than a rigidly continuous join. Capitals are taller and more gestural, with simple swashes and occasional cross-strokes that add flourish without becoming overly ornate.
Well suited for short-to-medium display copy such as logos, boutique branding, wedding or event invitations, product packaging, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and headers where a handcrafted, expressive tone is desired and the high-contrast strokes can be given enough size to breathe.
The font feels personable and expressive—equal parts refined and informal—conveying a boutique, handwritten charm. Its bounce and looping forms add a light, friendly character that reads as creative and slightly whimsical rather than strictly formal.
Designed to mimic fluid brush calligraphy in a tidy, upright script, balancing fashionable elegance with an approachable handmade feel. The goal appears to be delivering distinctive, decorative letterforms for display typography while retaining enough consistency for readable short phrases.
The contrast and narrow proportions create strong vertical emphasis, while the varying stroke endings and irregular joins add a natural, pen-and-brush authenticity. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and occasional hairline terminals that pair well with the letters in display settings.
