A slanted, brush-pen script with flowing, semi-connected letterforms and a lively baseline rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with rounded terminals, tapered entries, and occasional swashy ascenders/descenders that add flourish without becoming overly ornate. Capitals are larger and more expressive, often built from looped or arched gestures, while lowercase forms stay compact with smooth joins and clear counters. Overall spacing is moderately tight with a continuous cursive texture that reads as handwritten rather than formal calligraphy.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a personable, handwritten impression is desired—wedding or event stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings when paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The face conveys a warm, personal tone—polished enough for invitations and branding, yet casual and approachable like quick brush lettering. Its energetic curves and soft terminals create a cheerful, romantic feel, while the contrast adds a touch of sophistication.
Designed to emulate modern brush handwriting with a balance of readability and flair, using contrast and subtle swashes to create emphasis in titles while keeping an informal, human cadence.
The alphabet mixes connected and lightly separated forms, which helps maintain legibility in longer phrases while preserving a natural hand-drawn cadence. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm and appear designed for display use alongside the script’s expressive capitals.
