A slanted, brush-pen style script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are compact and tall with a small x-height, giving the lowercase an upright, ascender-driven texture while capitals swing wider with generous curves. Strokes show smooth, continuous motion with occasional sharp turns and pointed terminals; counters stay relatively open despite the condensed proportions. Spacing feels variable and hand-led, with a lively baseline rhythm and a slightly elastic width from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its contrast and energetic joins can be appreciated—logos, boutique branding, product packaging, invitations and event materials, and editorial pull quotes. It can work in subheads or short captions when given ample size and breathing room, but is less ideal for dense paragraph copy.
The overall tone is polished yet informal—like quick, confident handwriting dressed up for display. It reads as warm and personable, with a romantic, slightly vintage flair suited to expressive messaging rather than strict neutrality.
Designed to emulate fluent cursive written with a flexible brush or marker, balancing legibility with expressive stroke choreography. The compact proportions and showier capitals suggest an aim toward statement-making display typography that still feels personal and handwritten.
Capitals are more decorative and gestural than the lowercase, helping create strong word-shape at the start of lines. Numerals follow the same brush-contrast logic and lean, integrating well in headline settings; smaller sizes may need extra tracking to prevent dark joins and tight interior spaces.
