A flowing cursive script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, continuous strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean forward with long, tapering entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes, creating a lively, handwritten rhythm. Uppercase characters are tall and expressive with open loops and extended terminals, while lowercase forms stay compact with a small core height and frequent ascenders that rise well above the body. Counters are generally open and rounded, and the overall texture alternates between hairline connectors and heavier downstrokes for a sparkling, high-contrast look.
Well-suited to short, display-led applications where the flourishes can breathe—such as wedding suites, greeting cards, beauty and lifestyle branding, product labels, and signature-style logotypes. It works best in headlines, names, and accent lines rather than dense paragraphs.
The font reads as graceful and personal, balancing refinement with an informal, hand-signed charm. Its looping capitals and delicate hairlines add a romantic, boutique tone, while the energetic stroke endings keep it playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident brush calligraphy with an emphasis on expressive capitals and elegant connecting strokes. Its contrast and swash behavior aim to deliver a signature-like presence that feels bespoke and decorative in display settings.
In longer text samples, the connecting strokes create a continuous baseline flow, but the sharp contrast and slim joins can make spacing feel sensitive at small sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and soft curves that match the script’s movement.
