A slanted, handwritten script with long, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests a brush or flexible pen. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters, short lowercase proportions, and frequent looped entrances/exits that create a flowing rhythm. Terminals are sharp or softly flicked, and strokes often narrow to hairlines at turns and joins, giving the texture a light, wiry presence. Capitals are larger and more gestural, with occasional swash-like strokes that add emphasis without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited for short, expressive text such as logos, product labels, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes where a handwritten feel is desired. It works especially well at display sizes, where the delicate hairlines and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels personable and informal, like quick but confident hand lettering for notes, invitations, or lifestyle branding. Its high-contrast, flicked terminals add a touch of elegance while the relaxed joins and looping forms keep it friendly and approachable.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, stylish brush handwriting—balancing legibility with expressive movement. Its narrow, high-contrast construction aims to deliver a light, elegant script texture while retaining a casual, personal character.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic, hand-made cadence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender figures and expressive curves that harmonize with the letterforms.
