A flowing, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and softly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are compact and tall, with small lowercase bodies and long, rhythmic ascenders and descenders that create a lively vertical cadence. Strokes show subtle pressure changes, with rounded joins and occasional hairline flicks at terminals; spacing is loose enough to keep counters open while still reading as a cohesive handwritten line. Uppercase forms are simple and lightly flourished, pairing well with the more compact lowercase.
Works well for short to medium-length display copy where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging accents, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It is best used at larger sizes or with generous tracking to preserve the fine terminals and maintain legibility.
The overall tone is informal yet polished, suggesting quick handwritten notes with a touch of elegance. Its light, breezy rhythm and looping shapes feel friendly and personal, with a gentle romantic energy suited to lifestyle and celebratory messaging.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of a quick brush script while staying orderly enough for clean, repeatable typesetting. The compact proportions and restrained flourishes aim for versatility across modern casual and semi-formal applications.
Connections between letters are suggested more by flow and proximity than by continuous joining, which helps maintain clarity in longer text. Numerals are consistent with the script style, using curved strokes and simple, handwritten construction that blends naturally with the alphabet.
