A slanted, brush-pen script with lively stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Letterforms are generally narrow with compact counters and a springy baseline rhythm, shifting between thicker downstrokes and hairline upstrokes. Connections appear intermittently—some joins flow naturally while other letters remain separated—giving a handwritten, note-like texture. Capitals are larger and more gestural, with occasional looped entries and long, sweeping curves that add emphasis without becoming overly ornate.
It suits short to medium text where character is desirable: logos and wordmarks, product labels, invitations, social graphics, and pull quotes. The high stroke contrast and handwritten irregularity make it especially effective at display sizes, where the brush texture and expressive capitals can be appreciated.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone with a touch of modern elegance. Its quick, confident strokes feel conversational and creative, balancing friendliness with a slightly polished, boutique sensibility.
The design appears intended to mimic a real brush-pen hand with energetic contrast, selective joining, and stylish capitals. Its primary goal seems to be adding a human, expressive signature-like voice to headings and brand-forward text.
Spacing reads intentionally uneven in a natural way, contributing to an organic cadence in words and lines. Ascenders and descenders are relatively prominent compared to the x-height, and several glyphs feature distinctive entry/exit strokes that create a sense of motion in running text.
