A flowing, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into sharp terminals, with rounded turns and occasional dry-brush texture in tighter joins. The letterforms are compact and upright in proportion, with a relatively small x-height and tall, slender ascenders/descenders that create an airy vertical rhythm. Connections are mostly continuous in lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and gestural, producing a lively, handwritten cadence in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as logos, boutique branding, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social posts. It also works well for pull quotes and headline accents when you want a handwritten signature feel; for longer paragraphs, generous line spacing helps preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels modern and personable, balancing elegance with a casual, handwritten warmth. Its brisk rhythm and pointed tapers add a stylish, upbeat energy that reads as contemporary and inviting rather than formal or rigid.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a polished, contemporary finish. The intent appears to be a versatile script that can convey personal charm and style in display typography while maintaining enough structure to remain legible in common headline sizes.
The alphabet shows noticeable natural variation in stroke width and join behavior, which reinforces an authentic, penned feel. Looped forms and extended entry/exit strokes give words a sense of motion, and numerals follow the same brush-script logic for cohesive mixed content.
