A slender, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into pointed entry and exit terminals, with occasional dry-brush texture and ink pooling that adds a hand-rendered feel. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with compact bowls and a relatively small x-height, while ascenders and descenders extend long for a graceful vertical rhythm. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, giving words a flowing cursive cadence without becoming overly dense.
This font works best for short, expressive text where its stroke contrast and tall proportions can shine—wedding or event stationery, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, pull quotes, and social graphics. It is most effective at medium to large sizes where the delicate hairlines and textured details remain clear.
The overall tone is refined yet informal—like quick, stylish handwriting done with a flexible brush. It feels personal and expressive, balancing elegance with a relaxed, modern craft sensibility.
The design appears intended to emulate fashionable brush calligraphy in a controlled, repeatable type system—capturing the spontaneity of a hand-drawn script while maintaining consistent rhythm and legibility for polished display typography.
Caps are especially gestural, with sweeping openings and occasional flourished strokes that create strong word-shape at display sizes. Lowercase counters stay tight and clean, and the numerals match the script rhythm with narrow proportions and curved, handwritten construction.
