A cursive, brush-pen style script with a rightward slant and lively, bouncing baseline. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thin hairlines and thicker downstrokes, with tapered entry/exit terminals and occasional teardrop-like swell points. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact counters and generous ascenders/descenders; the lowercase has a relatively modest x-height compared to the ascenders. Connections are fluid and frequent, while many capitals behave more like embellished initials with looped strokes and open, airy shapes.
Well-suited for short to medium display text where an expressive handwritten voice is desired: logos, boutique branding, product labels, quotes, social posts, and event collateral such as invitations and greeting cards. It works best at moderate sizes and above, where the thin strokes and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and personable, combining quick handwritten energy with a slightly polished, boutique feel. Loops and swashes add a cheerful, expressive character that reads as welcoming rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with consistent rhythm and elegant contrast, offering a natural handwritten feel while remaining cohesive across a full basic character set. The intent appears to balance spontaneity with enough structure for repeatable use in branding and display settings.
Caps and lowercase mix comfortably, but the capitals vary more in structure and flourish, giving headings a handcrafted look. Numerals follow the same drawn rhythm, with simple forms and light, calligraphic modulation.
