A lively, slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with occasional flicked entry and exit strokes that create a quick, gestural rhythm. Uppercase forms are elongated and open, while lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical energy. Spacing and widths vary naturally from letter to letter, reinforcing the hand-drawn texture while keeping the overall line fairly even.
Well suited to short, prominent text where a human touch is desirable—logos, boutique branding, product packaging, social posts, invitations, and poster headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or captions when set large enough to preserve the delicate, tapered details.
The font conveys an informal, upbeat tone—confident and personable rather than formal or ornamental. Its brisk slant and sweeping strokes suggest speed and spontaneity, giving text a conversational, signature-like presence.
Likely designed to mimic quick brush lettering with a natural handwritten cadence, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The narrow, tall forms and compact lowercase emphasize elegance and momentum while maintaining an approachable, everyday feel.
Numbers are slender and slightly calligraphic, matching the angled stroke behavior of the letters. The set reads best when given a bit of breathing room, as the long verticals and occasional extended strokes can create lively inter-letter interactions in tighter settings.
