A slanted, brush-pen style script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes are smooth and slightly springy, with rounded joins and occasional looped entry/exit strokes that mimic quick handwriting. Uppercase forms are taller and more flamboyant, while lowercase stays compact with a short x-height and open counters; overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is narrow and flowing. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with single-stroke construction and soft curves that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Well-suited for boutique branding, wordmarks, product packaging, and invitations where a handwritten, premium tone is desired. It also works effectively for short headlines, pull quotes, and social media graphics at display sizes where the stroke contrast and swashy forms can be appreciated.
The font reads as personable and expressive, balancing casual handwriting with a polished, dressy sheen. Its flowing stroke contrast and swashy capitals lend a romantic, boutique feel, while the lively, bouncy rhythm keeps it approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate a quick, confident brush signature—combining narrow, connected cursive forms with elegant contrast and showy capitals to deliver a refined handwritten look for display-oriented typography.
Capitals show the most display character through extended curves and simplified, signature-like structures, which can dominate in all-caps settings. In text samples the connected flow remains legible at larger sizes, but the contrast and tightness suggest it will benefit from comfortable line spacing and moderate tracking when used in longer lines.
