A slanted, brush-pen script with lively stroke modulation and tapered terminals that mimic pressure and lift. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in their construction but consistently angled, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage flowing word shapes. Curves are smooth yet slightly irregular in a natural way, and several capitals show more dramatic swashes and teardrop-like thick spots, adding emphasis without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where personality is desired, such as logos, packaging callouts, social media graphics, event invitations, and poster headlines. It also works nicely for quotes or titles when given enough size and spacing to preserve its stroke detail and lively joins.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, evoking quick handwritten notes and modern casual signage. Its energetic rhythm and brush-like texture give it an approachable, contemporary feel with a hint of crafted charm.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering while staying cohesive and legible across a full alphanumeric set. The emphasis appears to be on expressive rhythm and friendly tone, with stylized capitals for standout moments and a smoother lowercase for continuous reading.
Capitals are more stylized than the lowercase, providing a clear hierarchy for headlines while maintaining the same brush logic. Numerals follow the same calligraphic movement, with rounded forms and angled stress that keep them visually consistent in mixed settings.
