A slanted, brush-pen script with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a rhythmic, forward-leaning cursive flow; many characters link naturally through entry/exit strokes in the lowercase. Counters are compact, ascenders and descenders are long and sweeping, and curves show a calligraphic snap where thick downstrokes contrast with hairline turns. Capitals are simplified and airy, while lowercase forms carry most of the movement through loops, teardrop joins, and occasional flicked finishes.
Well-suited for branding and logo wordmarks where a personal, elegant signature tone is desired. It works especially well in invitations, beauty/fashion packaging, and short headline or pull-quote settings where the brush contrast and looping connections can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font reads as polished and expressive, balancing casual handwriting energy with a more upscale, editorial feel. Its swift, brushy motion and graceful curves suggest romance and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic flair suited to attention-grabbing phrases.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, confident brush-calligraphy—combining a narrow, vertical silhouette with expressive thick–thin transitions to deliver a stylish handwritten voice for display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the narrow proportions create a dense, vertical texture in longer lines. Numerals and uppercase share the same calligraphic stress, keeping the set cohesive, while some letters show intentionally varied stroke endings that enhance a hand-drawn impression.
