A lively cursive hand with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen construction. Strokes read mostly monoline with subtle pressure swell at turns and terminals, and many characters end in tapered, slightly rounded flicks. Letterforms are tall and condensed with compact counters and a tight, upward rhythm; the lowercase shows a relatively low x-height against long ascenders and descenders. Connections are frequent in text settings, with occasional lifted joins that keep the flow airy rather than fully continuous.
Best suited for display use where a human, handwritten voice is desired—such as logos, short headlines, packaging accents, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes. It can also work for brief passages when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its quick, connected rhythm.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick yet confident handwriting. Its brisk slant and elastic curves give it an energetic, conversational feel that stays approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a polished, repeatable form, balancing legibility with expressive swashes and a fast, forward motion. The narrow, tall proportions help it fit compactly while still reading as distinctly hand-drawn.
Capitals are prominent and gesture-driven, working well as attention-getting initials, while the lowercase maintains a steady cadence for longer phrases. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and tapered entries/exits that match the brushy terminals.
