A delicate, right-slanted script with a calligraphic skeleton and visibly irregular, textured stroke edges. Strokes taper sharply into hairlines and swell at turns, creating a lively, broken-ink contrast and a slightly dry-brush finish. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters, minimal joining between characters, and a consistent forward rhythm; ascenders and capitals rise prominently above the body while lowercase remains small and tightly set. Numerals and capitals keep the same handwritten logic, with occasional entry/exit flicks and gentle baseline wavering that reinforces the natural, drawn feel.
Best suited to short, expressive text where the delicate strokes and textured finish can be appreciated—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for poster headlines or editorial pull quotes when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is refined yet informal—like quick, confident pen lettering with a touch of wear. Its airy lightness reads graceful and romantic, while the scratchy texture adds a nostalgic, handmade character that feels personal rather than polished.
Designed to evoke fast, elegant handwriting with a lightly distressed, ink-on-paper texture. The intention appears to balance graceful calligraphic movement with a worn, tactile finish that adds personality and a vintage-leaning charm.
Capitals show expressive loops and angled terminals, giving headings a distinctive signature-like presence. The texture is consistent across the set, suggesting intentional roughness rather than random noise, and it becomes more apparent at larger sizes where the broken edges can read as a stylistic feature.
