A compact brush-script with a pronounced rightward slant and soft, rounded stroke terminals. The letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with an overall monoline feel, giving the set a steady, pen-drawn rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in structure but remain cursive in gesture, while lowercase letters lean more fluid and looped, with tight counters and short extenders. Figures are simple and handwritten, matching the same curved, brushy construction and consistent stroke weight.
Well-suited for short headlines, logo-style wordmarks, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where a casual handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes on cards, menus, labels, and social media assets, where its compact script texture can read as energetic and crafted.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a quick, confident handwritten energy. Its tight proportions and lively slant create a sense of motion, making it feel upbeat and approachable rather than formal or ceremonial.
The design appears intended to emulate quick brush lettering in a controlled, consistent system—capturing the spontaneity of handwriting while maintaining enough regularity for repeated use in titles and short phrases.
Spacing appears naturally tight and cohesive in text, and many shapes suggest implied joining behavior even when letters are not fully connected. The overall texture stays dark and even across words, producing a strong, graphic script line that stands out at display sizes.
