A slender, brush-pen style script with a quick, rightward slant and energetic, tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow set widths and generous ascenders and descenders that create an airy vertical rhythm. Strokes feel mostly monoline in the middles, with subtle pressure-driven thickening on curves and downstrokes, plus crisp, flicked terminals. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, helping keep counters open and forms readable at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium-length display copy where its narrow, handwritten rhythm can shine—such as branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations, and social content. It also works well for pull quotes and headers when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like fast, confident handwriting made with a fine brush marker. It reads personable and contemporary, balancing elegance from the tall proportions with a spontaneous, conversational feel. The lively loops and sweeping capitals add a slightly playful, handcrafted character.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable, brush-written cursive for modern display typography—capturing the speed and personality of handwriting while maintaining consistent proportions and clean letter differentiation for practical use in titles and branded phrases.
Capitals feature prominent entry and exit strokes and occasional looped constructions (notably in letters like B, D, and Q), giving headlines a strong signature-like presence. Lowercase shapes stay simple and upright within the slant, with clean joins and minimal ornamentation, while the numerals match the same brisk, handwritten rhythm.
