A slanted, brush-like script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly rounded terminals. Strokes feel pressure-driven, with tapered entrances and exits and occasional teardrop forms, creating a rhythmic, hand-rendered flow. Letterforms are mostly unconnected yet visually cohesive through consistent angle, curving bowls, and looping joins in select shapes; capitals are broader and more ornate, while lowercase remains compact with a relatively small x-height. Figures follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved spines and weighty downstrokes that match the letter texture.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated: invitations and announcements, boutique branding, labels and packaging, menu covers, and short headline treatments. It can also work for pull quotes or hero text when set with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The tone reads warm and personable while still formal enough to feel traditional. Its flourished shapes and smooth brush rhythm evoke vintage stationery and classic signage, with a lighthearted bounce that keeps it from feeling overly stiff.
Designed to emulate a confident calligraphed hand with brush pressure and elegant swashes, balancing legibility with decorative character. The goal appears to be a lively, classic script for prominent, personality-forward typography rather than dense body copy.
Spacing appears generous, helping the swashy shapes breathe, but the strong slant and active curves create a dense texture in longer lines. The most distinctive character comes from the expressive capitals and the tapered, ink-like terminals that give words a crafted, handwritten finish.
