A flowing, pen-script style with a pronounced rightward slant and brisk, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and rounded, looped forms, giving many letters a continuous written motion even when they are not fully connected. Proportions are tall and compact, with small counters and a notably low lowercase body relative to ascenders/descenders, creating a delicate, airy texture in text. Capitals are simplified and sweeping, while lowercase forms lean on smooth entry/exit strokes and occasional curls for emphasis.
Well-suited to short to medium phrases where a handwritten signature feel is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and promotional graphics. It works best at display sizes or in spacious settings where the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces can remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat handwriting done with a flexible pen. Its quick curves and soft loops feel upbeat and approachable, with a lightly romantic, boutique flavor rather than a formal engraved script.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of modern cursive handwriting with a flexible-pen contrast, balancing readability with expressive swashes. The compact, tall proportions and energetic curves suggest an emphasis on stylish, contemporary display use over long-form text.
The design relies on rhythm and gesture more than strict uniformity, with subtle width variation and a handwritten bounce across lines. Numerals follow the same slanted, brush-pen logic and read as casual companions to the letters rather than rigid lining figures.
