A slanted, brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are compact and vertically emphasized, with a relatively small x-height and long, flowing ascenders and descenders that create a quick, dancing rhythm. Stroke terminals often finish in fine hairlines, while downstrokes swell into rounded, ink-rich forms, giving the set a distinctly calligraphic texture. Uppercase shapes read as simplified, gestural caps that pair naturally with the more connected, looping lowercase.
Well-suited for short, prominent text such as brand marks, boutique packaging, social graphics, invitations, and expressive headlines where the brush contrast can shine. It performs best at display sizes and with generous spacing, especially on light backgrounds where the hairline strokes remain visible.
The font conveys a confident, handwritten charm—stylish and slightly dramatic, but still casual enough to feel personal. Its energetic contrast and brisk slant add a sense of motion and flair, suggesting a contemporary take on modern calligraphy.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush lettering with a modern calligraphic feel, balancing expressive contrast and compact proportions for distinctive display typography.
Connection behavior is mixed: many lowercase letters link smoothly in text, while some characters remain more standalone, creating a varied, organic texture. Numerals follow the same brush logic with curved bowls and tapered ends, matching the script’s overall liveliness.
