A brisk, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, elastic stroke rhythm. Letterforms are built from tapered strokes with rounded terminals and occasional sharp flicks, creating a medium level of contrast that feels ink-driven rather than mechanical. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with a relatively low x-height and long, swinging ascenders/descenders that add motion. Connections are frequent in lowercase, while uppercase forms read as simplified, calligraphic initials with generous curves and open counters.
Best suited to short, expressive copy where the handwritten character can lead—logos and wordmarks, product labels, posters, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes. It performs well at display sizes where the tapered strokes and loops remain clear and the energetic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick signature lettering or a handwritten note. Its confident swashes and brisk angle give it a sense of speed and spontaneity, while the smooth curves keep it approachable.
Designed to emulate fast, confident brush handwriting with a cohesive, modern script flow. The aim appears to be an expressive display face that communicates personality and motion while staying legible in short phrases.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in a handwriting-like way, with word shapes forming strong diagonals across a line. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with curved, open forms and tapered starts/finishes that harmonize with the letters.
