A delicate handwritten script with brush-pen construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are slightly slanted with tapered entries and exits, frequent loops, and occasional long, airy crossbars and swashes (notably in capitals). The rhythm is lively and irregular in a natural way, with variable letter widths and a mix of open bowls and tight turns; lowercase forms stay compact while ascenders and capitals add height and flourish. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, keeping thin hairlines and rounded terminals for a cohesive texture.
Works best for short display copy such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and logo-style wordmarks where the flourished capitals can take center stage. It also fits packaging accents, social graphics, and headers when set with ample size and breathing room.
The font reads as informal yet refined, balancing a casual note-taking feel with a graceful, boutique tone. Its looping capitals and crisp contrast give it a charming, slightly theatrical personality—suited to warm, celebratory messaging rather than strictly functional text.
Designed to capture the look of quick, stylish brush handwriting with expressive capitals and a light, graceful texture. The emphasis appears to be on personality and flourish in display settings rather than dense, continuous reading.
Capitals are the main expressive feature, often extending beyond the x-height with generous curves and occasional underlines/overstrokes, which can create a decorative word-shape. Spacing appears loosely set in the samples, producing an open, airy line color that favors short phrases and larger sizes.
