A flowing script with a pen-and-brush character, built from slender, slanted strokes that thicken on curves and downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and upright-to-right-leaning, with rounded bowls, narrow counters, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a connected rhythm. Ascenders and descenders are long and expressive, and many capitals use generous swashes and open loops. Overall spacing is tight and lively, giving words a continuous, handwritten texture.
This script suits short, expressive settings such as branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations and greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works well for display lines and pull quotes where its looping capitals and continuous rhythm can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone—like a quick, confident note written with a flexible pen. Its soft curves and looping forms feel warm and romantic, while the brisk stroke rhythm keeps it light and approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic natural cursive handwriting with a brush-pen lift and pressure changes, prioritizing charm and flow over rigid regularity. Its compact proportions and energetic connections aim to create a smooth word shape that feels personal and crafted.
Capitals are noticeably more flamboyant than the lowercase, making the typeface feel best when capitals are used sparingly for emphasis. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, slightly irregular shapes and a consistent forward slant.
