A flowing brush-script with a pronounced rightward slant and energetic, tapered strokes. Letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation with pointed terminals and occasional teardrop-like joins, giving a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase characters are tall and narrow with simplified, gesture-driven construction, while lowercase forms mix open counters and looped ascenders/descenders for a handwritten feel. Spacing is relatively tight and the baseline has a gentle bounce, reinforcing an informal, drawn-with-a-pen texture.
Well-suited for short, high-impact text such as brand marks, product names, event materials, and editorial or social graphics. It works especially well on packaging, invitations, and pull quotes where a personal, brush-script voice is desired, and where size allows the thin strokes and loops to remain crisp.
The overall tone feels expressive and personable, balancing elegance with a casual, friendly spontaneity. Its swashy curves and animated stroke contrast lend a romantic, boutique sensibility, while the slightly irregular rhythm keeps it approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a modern brush-pen handwriting style with fashionable contrast and a smooth, continuous motion. Its narrow, tall proportions and swashy details aim to deliver a distinctive signature-like presence for display typography.
Readability is strongest at display sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp entry/exit strokes can breathe. Some letters rely on similar cursive shapes (notably in the mid-lowercase), so generous tracking and short wordmarks help maintain clarity.
