A brisk, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and pronounced slant. Strokes alternate between hairline upstrokes and fuller downstrokes, producing crisp contrast and a lively rhythm. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight counters and a generally narrow footprint; ascenders and descenders are long and expressive. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, and terminals often finish with soft tapers and small flicks that reinforce the hand-drawn cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium lines where the expressive stroke contrast and looping forms can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, social posts, boutique packaging, and casual branding accents. It can also work for headers and highlighted phrases when paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is friendly and personal, like quick but confident handwriting on a note or invitation. Its springy loops and animated joins give it an upbeat, slightly romantic character that feels informal rather than corporate.
Designed to emulate a modern brush-script handwriting style with energetic capitals and flowing lowercase, prioritizing personality and motion over strict formality. The narrow, upright-running rhythm and high-contrast strokes aim to deliver a refined yet approachable handwritten look for display-oriented use.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, standing out as decorative entry forms, while lowercase maintains a consistent forward motion and occasional simplified joins for speed. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with narrow proportions and tapered ends, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed text.
