A slanted cursive with a brush-pen feel, combining smooth joining strokes with sharp, tapering terminals. Letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly textured, inked edge that suggests pressure changes. Ascenders are tall and narrow, with compact lowercase bodies and generous loops in forms like g, y, and z. Capitals are simplified but dramatic, using sweeping entry strokes and curved spines that keep a consistent forward rhythm across words.
This font suits beauty, lifestyle, and boutique branding, as well as packaging, invitations, and short promotional lines where personality is key. It performs best at display sizes for titles, quotes, and hero text, and is less suited to dense paragraphs where the strong contrast and tight proportions could reduce readability.
The overall tone is polished yet personal, like quick, confident handwriting dressed up with calligraphic contrast. It reads as stylish and romantic, with a hint of retro signage and editorial flair. The lively stroke modulation adds energy and a handcrafted warmth without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic modern brush calligraphy in a controllable, repeatable typeface form—capturing fast pen movement, pressure contrast, and connected cursive flow for expressive display typography.
Connectivity is generally consistent in the lowercase, while capitals tend to stand more independently and lead into the following letters with long entry strokes. The numeral set follows the same pen-driven logic, with angled stress and open curves, making it best used where a handwritten feel is desirable rather than strict uniformity.
