A slanted, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and smoothly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are narrow and quick, built from continuous, slightly elastic curves with occasional looped entries and exits that suggest fast pen movement. Contrast stays moderate overall, with subtle thick–thin shifts and rounded terminals; capitals are taller and more gestural, while lowercase forms remain compact with a notably low x-height and long ascending strokes.
Works best for short to medium-length display text such as brand marks, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, and social media graphics. It can also serve as an accent in editorial layouts when paired with a clean sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as informal and personable, like a confident note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its energetic rhythm and soft curves bring a friendly, slightly romantic tone, while the narrow, leaning stance adds momentum and a modern casualness.
Likely intended to capture the immediacy of everyday brush handwriting while remaining cohesive and legible in set text. The design emphasizes speed, narrow proportions, and flowing connections to deliver a personal signature-like voice.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the texture becomes lively in longer lines, with small irregularities that reinforce an authentic hand-drawn impression. The digit set matches the script style, staying slender and slightly angled to blend with text.
