A slim, slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Letterforms show a quick, confident rhythm with gently wavering baselines, narrow apertures, and occasional looped joins, while many capitals remain more display-like and partially unconnected. Strokes exhibit subtle thick–thin modulation and rounded turns, with long ascenders/descenders that give the lowercase a tall, elegant silhouette.
Well-suited for short to medium text where a human, handcrafted feel is desired—such as lifestyle branding, product packaging, social media graphics, greeting cards, and invitation headlines. It also works nicely for pull quotes and captions when set with comfortable spacing to preserve its light strokes and tall lowercase rhythm.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like fast neat handwriting on a note or label. Its light, energetic motion and slightly playful loops create a welcoming, conversational character rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to emulate quick, stylish handwriting with a brush pen, balancing legibility with expressive motion. The intent appears to be an approachable script that can add personality and a handmade touch to modern design contexts without becoming overly ornate.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often using extended entry/exit strokes that add flair at the start of words. Numerals match the handwriting style with simple, open forms and occasional cursive-like hooks, maintaining the same airy, pen-drawn texture.
