A flowing handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and fine hairline connectors, with smooth, brush-like terminals and occasional tapered entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are generally connected in text, with generous loops on ascenders and descenders and a lively baseline bounce; counters stay relatively open despite the narrow build. Capitals are more calligraphic and gestural, while lowercase forms keep a consistent cursive structure with simple, readable joins.
Well suited to short display lines such as logos, product labels, event invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, and social posts where a handcrafted voice is desired. It performs best at medium to large sizes, and in lighter text densities where its hairline connections and loops have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels personal and upbeat, like quick brush lettering used for friendly notes or boutique branding. Its looping movement and high-contrast strokes add a slightly romantic, handmade character that reads as informal but intentional.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush-pen handwriting with a polished cursive flow, prioritizing personality and movement over strict geometric regularity. The tall, narrow silhouettes and strong stroke modulation aim to create an elegant yet casual signature-like impression.
The digit set follows the same handwritten logic, mixing rounded forms with sharp, tapered starts and finishes. The contrast and fine connecting strokes can appear delicate at small sizes, while larger settings emphasize the lively texture and stroke modulation.
