A compact, brush-pen style script with a consistent, slightly textured stroke and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a tight rhythm, showing a lively handwritten bounce and moderate stroke modulation from pressure-like thickening on curves and joins. Capitals are simplified and airy rather than ornate, while lowercase forms use frequent loops and entry/exit strokes that suggest natural cursive connections. Numerals and punctuation keep the same hand-drawn character, with open counters and smooth, continuous curves.
Well-suited for short display copy where an informal handwritten voice is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, boutique packaging, cafe or lifestyle branding, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and headings, especially where a narrow script helps fit text into limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like quick but confident handwriting. Its narrow, energetic forms read as upbeat and personable, with just enough brush character to feel crafted rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable form—narrow, quick-moving, and expressive—aimed at friendly display typography rather than formal calligraphy.
Spacing appears compact and the letterforms favor verticality, which helps keep long lines feeling light while maintaining an organic, handwritten irregularity. Ascenders and capitals stand prominent, and several shapes show distinctive looped construction (notably in letters with bowls and descenders), reinforcing a true handwritten cadence.
