A lively brush-script with a fast, handwritten rhythm and a right-leaning slant. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and hairline upstrokes, with tapered terminals that mimic a flexible pen or brush. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a compact lowercase, and the overall texture alternates between bold, inky shapes and fine connective strokes. Capitals are energetic and slightly swashy, while lowercase forms keep a loose cursive continuity with occasional open joins and smooth, rounded counters.
Well-suited for short, expressive typography such as logos, wordmarks, headlines, product packaging, invitations, and social media graphics where a handcrafted signature feel is desired. It performs best at display sizes where the fine hairlines and stroke contrast remain clear.
The font feels energetic and personable, balancing a modern, stylish script look with an informal handwritten ease. Its sharp contrast and sweeping strokes give it a fashionable tone, while the bouncy rhythm keeps it friendly and approachable.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush lettering in a polished, repeatable typeface. The emphasis on contrast, tapered terminals, and flowing cursive structure suggests an intention to provide a stylish handwritten voice for contemporary branding and display use.
Ascenders and descenders are prominent, helping create a vertical, calligraphic silhouette. Numerals follow the same brush-pen logic, with tapered entries and exits that harmonize with the letterforms. In longer text, the thin connecting strokes create a light, airy flow between heavier downstrokes.
