A slanted, brush-pen styled script with tall, narrow proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to pointed terminals, with smooth curves and occasional sharp entry/exit flicks that suggest quick, confident writing. Letterforms are mostly unconnected in the uppercase set, while lowercase forms read as flowing and cursive with frequent loops, long ascenders/descenders, and compact counters. Overall spacing feels open and rhythmic, favoring a light, calligraphic texture rather than dense color.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and narrow, tall forms can shine—such as logos, product packaging, invitations, headers, and pull quotes. It performs best with generous letterspacing and line spacing, and works nicely as an accent paired with a restrained serif or sans for body text.
The font conveys a polished, personal tone—equal parts friendly and refined. Its brisk slant, crisp tapers, and lively loops give it a modern handwritten energy, while the contrast and tall forms add a touch of sophistication suitable for aspirational branding.
Designed to emulate stylish brush handwriting with a fashion-forward, editorial feel. The goal appears to be an expressive script that remains clean and legible at display sizes while retaining the spontaneity of hand-drawn strokes.
Uppercase characters appear simpler and more monoline-like in gesture compared with the more ornate lowercase, which carries most of the flourish. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender shapes and subtle stroke swelling, maintaining consistency in mixed settings.
