A connected script with a brush-pen feel, built from sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Letterforms lean forward and move in a smooth, continuous rhythm, with long entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes on capitals. Curves are narrow and tall, counters are compact, and joins are fluid, giving lines a quick, handwritten momentum while maintaining a consistent, cleaned-up finish.
Well-suited for brand marks, boutique packaging, beauty or lifestyle labels, and wedding or event materials where a personal signature effect is desired. It performs best in short phrases—headlines, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes—where the swashes and contrast can remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, personal tone—stylish and intimate rather than casual. Its energetic slant and glossy stroke contrast suggest modern romance and boutique elegance, with enough flair to feel celebratory and expressive.
Designed to mimic confident brush lettering in a more consistent, typeset form, balancing decorative capitals with a flowing connected lowercase. The overall intent appears to be an elegant script for display situations that need both warmth and a premium finish.
Capitals are showy and signature-like, while lowercase forms stay tightly connected and streamlined for flow. Numerals follow the same slanted, brushy construction and read as coordinated display figures. At smaller sizes, the narrow proportions and strong contrast can make internal spaces feel tight, so it benefits from comfortable sizing and a bit of breathing room.
