A lively cursive script with a forward lean and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show noticeable pressure contrast with tapered entries and exits, and letterforms favor tall ascenders/descenders over a compact lowercase body. Curves are open and flowing, with rounded terminals, occasional swash-like caps, and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm that keeps words feeling hand-written rather than mechanical.
Best used for short, expressive text such as logos, boutique branding, product packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It also works well for pull quotes and headings where a human, handwritten touch is desired and generous spacing can be maintained for clarity.
The overall tone is warm, personable, and lightly playful—more like a quick note or signature than a formal inscription. Its looping gestures and soft terminals give it an inviting, romantic energy suited to expressive display rather than rigid structure.
Designed to emulate fluid brush handwriting with a signature-like cadence: tall, elegant proportions, fast cursive connections, and expressive capitals that create instant personality in display settings.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, providing strong word-shape cues at the start of lines, while the lowercase maintains a consistent connected flow. Numerals are similarly cursive in spirit, with simple, handwritten forms that match the script’s movement.
