A brush-pen cursive with a rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper sharply into entry and exit terminals, with occasional dry-brush texture and slightly irregular edges that reinforce a hand-drawn feel. Letterforms are narrow with tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, while capitals are larger and more gestural, often starting with a heavier downstroke and finishing in a long, lifted terminal. Curves are smooth and springy, and spacing feels airy despite the condensed proportions because of the open counters and frequent tapered endings.
Works best for short to medium display text such as logos, product labels, café/beauty branding, invitations, pull quotes, and social media graphics. The narrow, high-contrast strokes favor larger sizes and ample spacing, where the texture and tapered terminals can remain clear.
The tone is friendly and expressive, mixing a handmade spontaneity with a touch of modern calligraphic polish. It reads like quick, confident lettering—energetic rather than formal—suited to messaging that wants warmth and personality.
Designed to emulate quick brush calligraphy with a contemporary, condensed rhythm—delivering a handwritten look that feels personal and energetic while staying cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Connectivity varies: many lowercase forms suggest joining behavior, but the rhythm also supports semi-connected setting where letters appear to flow without fully linking every time. Numerals echo the same brush contrast and narrow proportions, keeping the set visually consistent in mixed text.
