A flowing, brush-pen script with a noticeable slant and lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered entry and exit strokes, giving letters a painted, pressure-driven feel. Forms are narrow and upright in their overall footprint, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact counters; spacing feels variable and organic rather than mechanically even. Many characters include soft loops and occasional swashy terminals, while connections are suggested through cursive structure even when letters appear slightly separated in places.
Well suited for short, expressive text in branding, packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics where a handcrafted voice is desirable. It works especially well at medium to large sizes for headlines, names, and emphasis lines, and is less ideal for long paragraphs or small UI text due to its high contrast and tight internal spaces.
The overall tone is friendly and expressive, like a neat modern hand-lettered note. Its high-contrast brush texture and looping shapes add a romantic, boutique feel, while the bouncy cadence keeps it approachable and informal.
Designed to emulate modern brush calligraphy with an elegant, handwritten personality, prioritizing expressive stroke contrast, looping structure, and a lively baseline rhythm. The goal appears to be a contemporary script that feels personal and crafted, while remaining legible for display copy.
Capitals are more decorative and gestural than the lowercase, helping create a strong word-shape at the start of phrases. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with curved, calligraphic strokes, making them best suited to display settings rather than dense data.
