A slender, brush-pen script with a rightward slant and lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes are mostly smooth and continuous with subtle thick–thin modulation, rounded terminals, and frequent looped forms in both capitals and lowercase. Capitals are tall and gestural with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase stays compact with narrow bowls and tight counters, giving lines a clean, flowing texture. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, staying lean and slightly calligraphic in their curves.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where a handwritten signature feel is desired, such as branding, logos, invitations, greeting cards, packaging, and pull quotes. It works especially well in headlines or subheads where the tall capitals and looping strokes can lead the eye, while very small sizes may reduce clarity due to the compact lowercase forms.
The overall tone feels graceful and personable, balancing a polished, modern script look with an informal handwritten ease. Its looping forms and gentle contrast suggest a romantic, boutique-friendly character without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate a quick, confident brush-script handwriting style with refined smoothness for contemporary display use. The intent appears to prioritize fluid motion, elegant loops, and expressive capitals to create a friendly, premium handwritten voice.
Letterforms show consistent spacing and a steady baseline, with a noticeable contrast between expressive capitals and simpler, faster-moving lowercase. Ascenders and capitals are prominent relative to the compact lowercase body, and the joins and curves maintain a smooth, ink-like continuity that reads best at display sizes.
