A flowing script with brush-pen contrast and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes shift between hairline upstrokes and thicker, tapered downstrokes, with frequent teardrop terminals and soft, rounded joins. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders/descenders and a lively baseline rhythm; capitals are especially gestural, featuring long entry strokes and occasional swash-like loops. The lowercase shows partial connectivity in running text, with compact counters and a delicate overall color.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and tall proportions can shine, such as logos, beauty/fashion branding, wedding or event invitations, packaging labels, and social media quote graphics. It works best at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and the nuanced stroke modulation.
The font reads as stylish and intimate, balancing refinement with a casual handwritten ease. Its looping capitals and airy stroke weight give it a boutique, romantic tone suited to expressive, personal messaging.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush calligraphy with an emphasis on elegant motion and decorative capitals. The overall construction prioritizes expressive rhythm and a refined handwritten look over dense text performance.
Capitals provide the strongest personality through elongated strokes and curved flourishes, while the lowercase remains comparatively restrained for readability. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender forms and lightly curved strokes that blend smoothly with the script texture.
