A flowing, handwritten script with a lightly slanted stance and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes alternate between hairline entry/exit strokes and darker downstrokes, creating a brush-pen contrast with tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall with long ascenders and descenders; the lowercase is notably small relative to capitals, and curves often resolve into soft loops. Connections are suggested through continuous motion, while individual glyphs keep distinct shapes, giving the overall texture an informal, drawn quality rather than a rigidly engineered script.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where a friendly, elegant script is desired. It works best for short headlines, names, and pull quotes, especially at medium to large sizes where the fine entry strokes and loops remain clear.
The font feels personable and romantic, with an airy grace that reads like neat, practiced hand-lettering. Its looping curves and springy movement add a playful charm, while the contrast and tall proportions keep it refined enough for decorative use.
Designed to emulate modern brush calligraphy in a controlled, repeatable font form, balancing expressive capitals and looping curves with a consistent handwritten cadence for decorative text settings.
Capitals are expressive and sometimes flourish-like, standing out strongly at the start of words. Many letters show rounded bowls and open counters, and the figures follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slender forms and occasional curls on terminals.
