A flowing brush-script with a lively, handwritten rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to fine hairlines and swell into rounded, ink-rich downstrokes, with a slight rightward slant throughout. Letterforms are generally narrow with tall ascenders and generous loop shapes, and many capitals feature simple entry swashes or open counters that keep them airy. Connections are suggested in the lowercase via smooth joins and continuous movement, while spacing stays readable due to clear vertical stems and consistent baseline behavior.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings such as brand marks, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics where an expressive handwritten voice is desired. It also works as an accent typeface in headlines, pull quotes, or labels when paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is stylish and personable, combining modern brush lettering energy with a soft, romantic feel. Its contrast and looping forms give it an expressive, boutique-like character that reads as friendly and aspirational rather than formal or rigid.
Designed to evoke contemporary brush calligraphy in a clean, digital form, prioritizing expressive contrast, graceful loops, and a fashionable handwritten cadence. The letterforms aim to feel spontaneous and personal while remaining legible for display use.
Capitals show noticeable variation in construction—some are more monoline and open, while others lean into heavier brush pressure—adding a handmade, one-off quality. Numerals and punctuation follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender terminals and occasional flourish-like turns that reinforce the script identity.
