A lively cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and brisk, brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered entries and exits and occasional teardrop terminals. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, creating an airy, elongated texture. Connections are fluid in running text, while capitals are more standalone and gestural, featuring simplified loops and occasional open counters.
Well-suited for logos, boutique branding, and packaging that benefit from an expressive handwritten voice. It also fits invitations, greeting cards, and wedding materials, as well as short headlines and social posts where the tall, narrow texture can stand out without needing long-form readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, combining a romantic handwritten feel with a slightly whimsical bounce. Its high-contrast strokes and looping forms add a touch of elegance, while the irregular brush energy keeps it casual and approachable.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush-pen handwriting with a graceful, narrow profile and high-contrast flair. The intent appears to balance elegance with informality, delivering a script that feels personal and decorative while remaining legible in short phrases.
The sample text reads cleanly at display sizes, where the narrow proportions and tall extenders create a distinctive silhouette. Numerals appear stylistically consistent with the script, using simple, handwritten constructions and light terminal flicks.
