A brush-pen styled script with lively, tapered strokes and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. Letterforms show a buoyant rhythm, with rounded bowls, occasional loops, and gently irregular terminals that retain a drawn-by-hand feel. Capitals are tall and gestural, often built from single sweeping strokes, while lowercase forms stay compact with tight counters and short ascenders/descenders relative to the dramatic cap height. Spacing is slightly uneven in a natural way, and forms vary in width from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal handwritten texture.
Well suited to short headlines, brand marks, product packaging, invitations, and greeting card work where a personable handwritten note is desired. It also performs nicely for quotes and social media graphics, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a spontaneous, personal character that reads like quick brush lettering. Its energetic curves and soft, inky finishes create a cheerful, crafty mood rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to capture the feel of modern brush lettering—expressive and human, with enough consistency to set words cleanly while preserving natural stroke variation and a casual, handcrafted finish.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same brush logic, with slender entry strokes and heavier downstrokes that keep the texture consistent across mixed content. The sample text shows good readability at display sizes, where the contrast and expressive capitals become a key part of the voice.
