A flowing cursive with a brush-pen feel, built from slanted, fast-moving strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are narrow and energetic, with compact lowercase bodies and frequent tall ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, ribbon-like rhythm. Terminals tend to taper to fine points, while heavier downstrokes produce bold teardrops and shaded curves; joins are smooth but not overly formal, retaining a hand-drawn spontaneity. Capitals are more expressive and open, often featuring entry/exit swashes and broad curves that contrast with the tighter lowercase.
Works well for short display lines where its contrast and swashy motion can be appreciated, such as invitations, greeting cards, social posts, beauty/fashion branding, and product packaging. It’s most effective in larger sizes for names, titles, and accent phrases rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is graceful and expressive, balancing elegance with an informal, handwritten charm. Its lively loops and tapered endings add a light, romantic character that feels suited to personal messages and boutique branding rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with a refined edge: a compact, slanted script that delivers dramatic stroke contrast and decorative capitals for standout display use.
Spacing appears visually tight and the strong stroke modulation makes fine hairlines and small counters more delicate at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same script logic, with curved, calligraphic construction and occasional flourished strokes that read best when given a bit of room.
