A connected script with a brush-pen feel and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are generally upright with soft, tapered entry and exit terminals, and the letterforms show a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm across the baseline. Counters are compact and curves are generously rounded, with frequent loops in ascenders/descenders and occasional extended cross-strokes and swashes (notably in capitals). The overall texture alternates between bold, inky downstrokes and hairline connectors, creating a crisp, high-contrast sparkle in display sizes.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings such as branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and editorial headlines. It can work for pull quotes or brief subheads, but the strong contrast and looping joins are most effective when size and whitespace support the detail.
The tone is polished yet playful—suggesting modern calligraphy with a hint of vintage charm. Its flowing joins and decorative capitals feel personable and celebratory rather than formal or austere.
Designed to evoke hand-lettered calligraphy with dramatic contrast and flowing connections, prioritizing expressive rhythm and decorative capitals for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals are more ornate and varied than the lowercase, giving a strong initial-letter presence in titles. Some glyphs lean toward monoline hairline joins between heavier strokes, so spacing and rhythm read best when set with comfortable tracking and ample line height.
