A flowing, slanted script with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a pointed, brush-pen-like modulation. Strokes taper into fine hairlines and end in teardrop terminals, with frequent entry/exit flicks and occasional swash-like extensions. Letterforms show a lively, slightly irregular rhythm: widths and counters vary from glyph to glyph, capitals are relatively tall and decorative, and the lowercase sits low with compact bodies and long ascenders/descenders. Connections appear intermittent—some letters link smoothly while others lift, reinforcing a handwritten cadence rather than a strictly continuous script.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the dramatic contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding or event invitations, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, social graphics, and display headlines. It can work for pull quotes and short passages at generous sizes and spacing, but the compact lowercase and active stroke texture favor display over extended reading.
The overall tone is refined yet playful, mixing formal calligraphic contrast with spontaneous handwritten motion. Its flourishes and narrow, tall proportions give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the ink-like texture and varying joins keep it personable and expressive.
Designed to emulate a high-contrast, brush-and-ink cursive hand with ornamental capitals and expressive terminals, aiming for graceful wordmarks and celebratory display typography.
Capitals carry much of the personality, with curled arms and looped details that can create distinctive word shapes. Numerals are similarly slanted and lightly ornamented, matching the script’s stroke logic and adding to the decorative, invitation-like character.
