A flowing handwritten script with a strong rightward slant and brush-pen character. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered entry and exit terminals, giving a lively, inked rhythm. Capitals are taller and more gestural, featuring occasional loops and soft swashes, while lowercase forms stay compact with tight counters and a notably small x-height. Overall spacing is airy and irregular in an intentional, hand-drawn way, with connections that feel implied rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited for short display settings where its dynamic stroke contrast and swashy capitals can be appreciated—such as logos, brand marks, product packaging, social graphics, invitations, and editorial headlines. It is less likely to remain clear at very small sizes or in dense paragraphs due to the compact lowercase and delicate joins.
The font reads as confident and stylish, balancing casual handwriting with a polished, boutique feel. Its sweeping capitals and sharp tapers add a sense of romance and momentum, making text feel personal and expressive rather than neutral or corporate.
Designed to emulate a fast, confident brush signature: energetic, contrasty, and stylish, with just enough irregularity to feel human. The emphasis on expressive capitals and tapered terminals suggests a focus on memorable, personality-forward display typography.
The most distinctive visual cue is the contrasty brush tapering—thick downstrokes paired with fine hairline joins—paired with tall ascenders/descenders that create an animated vertical rhythm. Numerals echo the same handwritten logic, leaning and varying in stroke width to match the letterforms.
