A slanted cursive with a brush-pen feel, featuring pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered stroke endings. Letterforms lean forward with flowing, mostly connected joins in text, creating a quick, rhythmic line. Curves are generous and rounded, with occasional sharp entry/exit flicks and compact counters that keep the overall color dense. Uppercase forms are more standalone and swashy, while lowercase shapes are streamlined for continuous writing, and the figures follow the same angled, calligraphic logic.
Well-suited for logos, small-brand packaging, invitations, and social graphics where a handwritten signature vibe is desired. It performs best at display sizes for headings, short phrases, and pull quotes, and can add emphasis when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is warm and personable, balancing a polished, boutique elegance with an informal handwritten spontaneity. It reads as upbeat and expressive, suited to friendly messaging that still wants a touch of sophistication.
The design appears intended to emulate fluid brush lettering with a refined, fashion-forward slant, providing a script that feels personal and energetic while remaining visually controlled in longer lines of text.
Stroke terminals frequently finish in pointed or softly hooked tips, reinforcing the sense of speed and hand pressure. Spacing appears tighter in running text, with noticeable word-shape variation driven by the script joins and prominent ascenders/descenders.
