A slender, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, brush-like stroke behavior. Forms alternate between hairline upstrokes and fuller downstrokes, creating a crisp calligraphic contrast and a rhythmic, slightly irregular texture. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, compact counters, and occasional open joins that keep words feeling light rather than densely connected. Terminals are tapered and pointed, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and frequent looped shapes in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for display settings where its delicate contrast and narrow rhythm can be appreciated, such as branding marks, boutique packaging, event stationery, and short headlines. It works particularly well for names, quotes, and taglines, and is less ideal for long passages at small sizes where the thin hairlines and tight interior spaces may soften.
The overall tone is refined and personal—like quick, confident lettering with a fashion-forward polish. Its tall proportions and sharp contrasts lend a sense of sophistication, while the slight irregularities preserve an intimate, human voice suitable for expressive messaging.
Designed to emulate elegant brush-pen cursive with a contemporary, editorial feel—prioritizing personality and flow over strict uniformity. The tall, refined silhouettes and tapered strokes suggest an emphasis on stylish signature-like text and attention-grabbing title work.
Capitals tend to be showy and elongated with long initial strokes, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive cadence with selective connections between letters. Numerals mirror the same narrow, flowing construction, reading more like handwritten figures than rigid lining forms.
