A flowing, right-slanted script with brush-like strokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright in rhythm, with smooth curves, frequent entry/exit strokes, and occasional looped constructions in capitals. Contrast comes from pressure-like modulation rather than rigid nib geometry, giving downstrokes more presence and keeping joins light and quick. The lowercase shows a compact body with tall ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same cursive logic with rounded forms and simple, readable shapes.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and greeting cards where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works for boutique branding, product packaging, and social media graphics in short to medium lengths, especially for names, headings, and signature-style lines.
The tone feels personable and expressive, combining casual handwriting with a polished, slightly formal flourish. It reads as warm and romantic rather than playful, with a confident, rhythmic sweep that suits signatures and heartfelt messaging.
Designed to emulate a neat, brush-pen cursive that balances everyday handwriting with a more polished, display-friendly finish. The narrow, slanted construction and tapered strokes aim for elegance and momentum while keeping text legible in common phrase-length settings.
Capitals tend to be more decorative than the lowercase, with swash-like openings and occasional internal loops, while the lowercase maintains a consistent cursive cadence. Spacing appears a bit open for a script, which helps clarity in short phrases, though the narrow proportions keep the overall texture refined and compact.
