A slanted cursive script with brush-pen character and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and occasional hairline exits, with smooth, looping forms in letters like g, y, and z and compact, open counters elsewhere. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning in rhythm, with a restrained x-height and taller ascenders that create a vertical, airy texture. Connections appear implied rather than strictly continuous, giving the script a fast handwritten flow while maintaining clear, repeatable shapes.
Well suited to short display settings such as branding marks, packaging callouts, posters, and event materials where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It works especially well for invitations, quotes, and hero lines, while longer paragraphs may require generous size and spacing to keep the lively joins and contrast comfortable to read.
The overall tone feels expressive and refined, balancing casual handwriting with a slightly formal, old-school polish. Its energetic stroke contrast and sweeping curves suggest confidence and warmth, like a signature or headline written with a flexible brush pen.
Designed to mimic a confident brush-written cursive hand, combining signature-like elegance with legible, repeatable letterforms for practical display typography. The narrow build, strong slant, and contrasted strokes aim to deliver impact and sophistication in titles and logotype-style applications.
Capitals show more flourish and entry/exit swashes, making them prominent in title case. Numerals match the script style with angled stress and cursive motion, reading best at display sizes where the contrast and tight joins have room to breathe.
