A lively handwritten script with a narrow, upright stance and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes move with a steady, slightly bouncy rhythm, combining rounded bowls with occasional tapered joins and soft, brush-like terminals. Ascenders and descenders run long and elegant, while the lowercase sits relatively low, giving the face a tall, airy vertical profile. Letterforms show gentle irregularities typical of hand drawing, and connections appear intermittent—many pairs flow together, while others break into discrete strokes for clarity.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where its loops and contrast can be appreciated—logos, boutique branding, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and display headlines. It also works well for pull quotes or social posts that benefit from an expressive, handcrafted voice, while extended body copy may feel visually busy at smaller sizes.
The tone is warm and personable, balancing a neat, formal script feel with a casual, handmade charm. Its looping forms and high-contrast strokes lend a slightly nostalgic, boutique character that reads as inviting rather than strict.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, hand-script look with an approachable, modern neatness—capturing the spontaneity of pen lettering while maintaining consistent proportions and legible word shapes for display use.
Capitals feature decorative entry/exit swashes and rounded, open counters, creating strong word shapes at the start of lines. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and curved construction, with smooth, rounded forms that keep the texture consistent across mixed text.
