A slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from tapered strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders, narrow counters, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a flowing rhythm. Connections are loose and inconsistent in a natural way—some letters link while others break—creating a lively, sketched baseline and a slightly irregular texture. Capitals are more gestural and varied, with sweeping curves and occasional sharp turns, while numerals are simple and streamlined to match the handwritten cadence.
Best suited to display use where its brushy contrast and lively slant can be appreciated—logos, branding accents, packaging, invitations, social posts, and pull quotes. It performs especially well in short lines and name-like phrases; for longer text, generous size and tracking help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is personal and spontaneous, like quick brush lettering on a note or label. It reads friendly and expressive rather than formal, with a light, modern handwritten charm that can feel romantic or upbeat depending on spacing and color.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush handwriting with a fashion-forward, contemporary script flavor. The intent appears to prioritize gesture, rhythm, and personality over strict regularity, providing an expressive voice for display typography.
The stroke contrast and narrow interior spaces can make small sizes feel delicate, while larger sizes highlight the tapered terminals and looping forms. Several letters feature extended cross-strokes and flourished curves that add motion and personality to headlines and short phrases.
