A slanted, brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are compact and upright in footprint, with long ascenders and deep, sweeping descenders that add vertical drama. Curves are smooth and continuous, with occasional sharp turns where the pen appears to lift or change direction, creating a natural, handwritten rhythm. Counters are relatively small and the spacing is tight, while capitals feature generous swashes and open loops that contrast with the smaller, more compact lowercase.
Best suited for short display settings where stroke contrast and looping capitals can shine—such as branding marks, beauty/fashion packaging, wedding or event stationery, social graphics, and editorial headers. It can also work for pull quotes or short phrases, while extended text may require generous line spacing due to tall ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone feels graceful and personal, combining a polished calligraphic look with the spontaneity of quick handwriting. Its flowing joins and high-contrast strokes evoke a romantic, boutique sensibility that reads as tasteful and expressive rather than casual or playful.
Designed to capture an elegant handwritten signature feel with brush-like contrast and flowing connections, balancing decorative capitals with a streamlined, legible lowercase for expressive display typography.
Capitals are notably more ornamental than the lowercase, which can create a strong hierarchy in title-case settings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with slim forms and occasional looped terminals that keep them visually consistent with the script.
