A lively brush-script with a forward slant and pronounced thick–thin contrast that mimics pressure from a pointed brush or pen. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase proportions that keep the x-height small relative to the capitals. Strokes taper into fine terminals, and many characters feature soft entry/exit strokes and looped structures, creating a continuous, handwritten rhythm even when letters aren’t fully connected. Spacing is slightly irregular in a natural way, and the capitals add flourish without becoming overly ornamental.
Well-suited for short to medium display text where a handmade, personal tone is desired—logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It works best at larger sizes where the thin hairlines and tight lowercase proportions remain clear, and it can add emphasis as an accent face paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with an energetic, handwritten bounce that feels informal and approachable. Its contrast and slender forms add a touch of elegance, while the looping strokes keep it playful rather than formal.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of handwritten brush lettering while staying cohesive across the alphabet, offering a stylish, modern script feel that reads quickly in headlines and signature-style lines.
Uppercase forms are more expressive and often more open and swooping, while lowercase maintains a tighter, more consistent flow. Numerals follow the same brushy logic with tapered ends and a lightly calligraphic feel, matching the text color and texture well in short runs.
