A slanted, brush-like calligraphic italic with compact proportions and energetic rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered entries and exits, producing smooth, slightly teardrop terminals rather than sharp serifs. Letterforms are largely unconnected, with rounded bowls and a consistent forward lean; counters stay fairly open despite the condensed width. The figures follow the same cursive influence, with soft curves and a cohesive, handwritten cadence.
Best suited to display sizes where the tapered strokes and lively slant can be appreciated—branding marks, packaging, posters, menus, and short editorial callouts. It can also work for brief passages or quotes when generous spacing and line height are used to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, combining a classic italic elegance with a casual, hand-rendered ease. It reads as personable and slightly nostalgic, like mid-century display lettering, while still feeling polished enough for tasteful emphasis and headlines.
Designed to provide a confident, brush-italic voice that feels handcrafted yet controlled, offering a friendly display style with a classic, slightly retro polish. The narrow, forward-leaning forms prioritize impact and momentum while keeping shapes recognizable and consistent across letters and numerals.
Capitals are simplified and readable, relying on curved strokes and gentle swelling rather than ornate flourishes. The lowercase shows a clear calligraphic influence in letters like a, e, g, and y, where curved descenders and tapered joins reinforce the handwritten feel without turning into a fully connected script.
