A brisk, slanted script with a brush-pen feel and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast with tapered entry and exit strokes, and letterforms lean forward with a quick rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall, with narrow overall set width and a relatively small x-height compared to the ascenders. Many glyphs connect naturally in running text, while capitals are more standalone and simplified, keeping a consistent handwritten flow.
Well-suited for short, expressive text where a personal voice is desirable, such as greeting cards, invitations, gift tags, boutique packaging, and social media graphics. It also works well for pull quotes and small headings when paired with a simple sans or serif for longer reading.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, with an informal charm that suggests quick, confident handwriting. Its high-contrast strokes and looping joins give it a slightly romantic, boutique feel, while the narrow, upright-tall shapes keep it energetic rather than delicate.
Designed to emulate modern brush-script handwriting with clean, consistent letterforms and a natural connecting behavior. The intention appears to balance spontaneity with legibility, delivering a stylish handwritten look that stays tidy in display-sized applications.
Counters are generally open and rounded, and terminals frequently finish in soft hooks or flicks that reinforce the handwritten cadence. Descenders are long and curvy, adding movement to lines, and spacing feels intentionally tight to support smooth cursive connections in words.
