A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-pen character. Strokes show noticeable contrast between thicker downstrokes and finer hairlines, with tapered terminals and occasional entry/exit flicks that suggest quick, confident writing. Letterforms are compact and slightly tall in proportion, with generous loops on ascenders/descenders and an overall light, open texture. The rhythm is smooth and cursive, with many shapes designed to connect naturally in text, while capitals are more expressive and varied in width.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the cursive flow and contrast can be appreciated—such as brand marks, invitations, social graphics, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It also works well for signature-style lines or highlighted phrases paired with a simpler sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as friendly and personal while still feeling refined, evoking handwritten notes, boutique branding, and modern calligraphy. Its airy lightness and energetic curves give it a warm, romantic tone without becoming overly formal.
Likely designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering with smooth connectivity and expressive capitals, delivering an elegant handwritten voice for contemporary, lifestyle-oriented design.
Capitals tend to feature prominent curves and occasional extended strokes that can stand out in headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slim and slightly irregular for a natural, non-mechanical feel.
