A slanted, handwritten script with a brush-pen flavor: strokes move quickly with tapered entries and exits, occasional swelling on downstrokes, and open, looping forms. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase sits small relative to the capitals, giving the line a light, airy texture. Connection behavior is mixed—many letters link smoothly while others break into discrete strokes—creating a natural, handwritten rhythm. Terminals are sharp and flicked, counters stay open, and the numerals follow the same flowing, calligraphic construction.
Best suited to short, expressive text where the brushy movement can be appreciated—logos and brand wordmarks, packaging callouts, posters, social content, and invitations. It performs well as a headline or accent face paired with a calmer sans or serif for longer reading.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a neat but spontaneous note written with a brush pen. Its lively slant and looping gestures read as energetic and modern, while the delicate stroke contrast keeps it graceful rather than heavy.
The design appears intended to capture fast, confident handwriting with a brush pen, balancing legibility with expressive loops and tapered terminals. Its narrow, vertical rhythm and prominent capitals suggest a focus on stylish display use and personal, friendly messaging.
Capitals are prominent and flourishy, often with extended entry strokes that can dominate at larger sizes. The set emphasizes motion and gesture over strict uniformity, so spacing and stroke endings contribute strongly to its hand-drawn character.
