A flowing, brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an overall rightward slant. Strokes taper into sharp entry/exit points, with frequent loops and occasional swash-like terminals, especially in capitals and descenders. Letterforms are narrow and lively, with bouncing baselines and variable joining behavior—some characters connect smoothly while others sit more discretely—creating an organic handwritten rhythm. The x-height reads compact, while ascenders and descenders are long and expressive, giving the texture a tall, airy vertical profile.
Well-suited to boutique branding, packaging, social media graphics, invitations, and short display copy where a handwritten signature feel is desired. It performs best at medium to large sizes, and works especially well for headings, names, and quoted phrases where the loops and contrast can be appreciated.
The font feels personable and stylish, balancing casual handwriting with a touch of formal flourish. Its looping forms and crisp contrast lend a romantic, boutique tone, while the brushy irregularities keep it approachable and handmade rather than rigidly calligraphic.
Designed to emulate a modern brush-script hand with expressive loops and clean contrast, aiming for a handcrafted look that still reads polished. The letterforms prioritize gesture and personality over strict uniformity, supporting decorative, high-impact display typography.
Capitals are decorative and distinctive, often built from single sweeping strokes that create strong word-shapes. Spacing appears slightly open for a script, helping legibility in longer lines, while the high-contrast strokes and narrow proportions emphasize a refined, inked look.
