A fluid cursive script with a slanted, handwritten rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms show brush-pen behavior: tapered entry/exit strokes, swollen downstrokes, and occasional dry-brush texture that creates slightly ragged edges. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, with relatively small lowercase bodies and frequent long ascenders/descenders; spacing and widths vary to keep a natural, hand-drawn cadence. Connections are common but not rigidly continuous, mixing joined strokes with open counters and airy in-letter gaps that preserve readability at display sizes.
Well-suited for logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, invitations, and short promotional lines where an expressive handwritten voice is desirable. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and social graphics, and is less ideal for dense body copy where its high modulation and lively spacing could become busy.
The overall tone feels personal and upbeat, like quick, confident calligraphy in a notebook or on a card. Its lively loops and dramatic thick–thin contrast add a touch of romance and craft, while the slight irregularities keep it approachable rather than formal.
Designed to emulate modern brush calligraphy with an informal, human cadence—capturing the speed, pressure changes, and looping gestures of hand lettering while staying coherent across a full alphabet and numerals.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, gestural constructions with occasional flourished terminals, while the lowercase carries most of the looping character. Numerals follow the same brush-script logic, with distinctive curved terminals and varied widths that reinforce the handwritten feel.
