A flowing handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining hairline connectors with occasional swollen downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and descenders, and a noticeably small x-height that emphasizes the vertical rhythm. Strokes taper to fine points at terminals, with looping entries and exits and frequent, soft curves. Spacing and widths vary organically from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand cadence while remaining generally upright and legible.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where personality is the goal—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product labels, and social media graphics. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and signature-style accents paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, with a breezy elegance that feels casual rather than formal. Its looping shapes and lively contrast suggest a warm, inviting voice suited to expressive, human-centered messaging.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of modern brush lettering in a clean, upright script that stays readable while retaining natural variation. The emphasis appears to be on charm and expressiveness, with tall proportions and delicate joins creating a distinctive, airy texture.
Uppercase forms are especially gestural and airy, often built from long, continuous strokes with open counters, while lowercase letters keep a consistent cursive connection and rounded construction. Numerals match the handwritten character with simple, slender forms and tapered finishes.
