A slanted, high-contrast script with brush-pen behavior: thick downstrokes, hairline upstrokes, and slightly irregular stroke edges that create a lightly rough, inked texture. Letterforms are semi-connected in rhythm but largely drawn as standalone script shapes, with soft entry/exit terminals and occasional tapered flicks. Capitals are ornate yet compact, with looped and curved swashes; bowls and counters are generally open and rounded. The lowercase shows a relatively short x-height with tall ascenders and long, sweeping descenders, giving lines a lively, vertical cadence and noticeable variation in glyph widths.
Best suited for display settings where the texture and contrast can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and invitation-style pieces. It can work for short phrases and pull quotes, but the lively stroke contrast and script complexity make it less ideal for long, small-size body text.
The overall tone feels personal and expressive—like quick, confident brush lettering with a refined, old-fashioned flourish. The textured edges add a worn, printed charm that reads as nostalgic and slightly theatrical rather than pristine or formal.
Designed to evoke brush-script calligraphy with a deliberately imperfect, ink-worn finish, balancing elegance with a handcrafted, slightly distressed personality for expressive display typography.
Character proportions and joins vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered feel. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slant, with simple, readable forms that keep the texture and tapering consistent with the letters.
