A slim, handwritten cursive with tall ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase proportions, and an overall upright stance. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation reminiscent of a brush or flexible pen, with tapered terminals and occasional hairline entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are lightly connected in running text, with open counters and a lively, uneven rhythm that keeps the texture from becoming too uniform. Capitals are taller and more gestural, pairing long verticals with simple looped or swashed details.
Best suited to short to medium display settings where its delicate contrast and narrow proportions can shine—logos, product packaging, invitations, quotes, and social media graphics. It can work for brief text accents, but the fine hairlines and animated rhythm are most effective at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The tone reads light and personable, balancing elegance with a casual, handwritten charm. Its thin hairlines and looping shapes feel friendly and slightly whimsical, giving headlines a crafted, boutique personality rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to evoke quick, stylish handwriting with a brush-pen feel—combining legibility with a fashion-forward, handcrafted presence for contemporary display typography.
Spacing and joins create a gently bouncing baseline, and several forms use simplified, single-stroke constructions that emphasize speed and spontaneity. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, with minimal ornament and clear vertical emphasis.
