A flowing, brush-pen style script with pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and hairline upstrokes. Letterforms are generally upright with a narrow footprint and lively, variable stroke widths that create a rhythmic, bouncing texture across words. Terminals often taper to fine points, and many capitals feature entry swashes or looped internal strokes, giving the alphabet a decorative, calligraphic feel. Spacing is moderately open for a script, helping the forms stay distinct even with frequent curves and occasional cross-strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, logos, product packaging, and social graphics where the brush contrast and flourished capitals can shine. It also works well for short headlines and pull quotes, while longer passages may benefit from generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is light, personable, and slightly dressy—like modern hand-lettering used for invitations or boutique branding. Its looping capitals and delicate hairlines add a touch of elegance, while the informal construction keeps it approachable and warm.
Designed to evoke contemporary brush calligraphy with an emphasis on expressive capitals, tapered strokes, and a lively handwritten cadence. The intent appears to balance decorative flair with readable word shapes for modern, casual-elegant display typography.
Capitals are notably more expressive than lowercase, with several letters using prominent loops and extended leads that can become focal points in short words. Numerals follow the same brush contrast and include distinctive, curvy forms that read as hand-drawn rather than strictly geometric.
