A lively, brush-pen script with a rightward slant and softly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact lowercase proportions and prominent ascenders and descenders that give lines a vertical, animated rhythm. Strokes show gentle modulation and occasional ink-like swelling, while terminals stay rounded and fluid rather than sharp. The set mixes connected script behavior with selective breaks, creating an organic, handwritten cadence that remains reasonably consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Works well for short-to-medium display settings where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as logos, product packaging, café or boutique signage, social posts, quotes, and event materials. It is especially effective when paired with a clean sans or serif for body text and used at sizes that let the tight loops and narrow counters stay clear.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick, confident handwriting made with a felt tip or brush pen. Its looping forms and buoyant rhythm feel personable and upbeat, leaning toward approachable and crafty rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to deliver an energetic brush-script look that feels authentic and human, balancing expressive loops with a repeatable structure for everyday display typography. The narrow, tall proportions and compact lowercase aim to create a distinctive vertical texture and a quick, handwritten flow.
Capitals are simple and gestural with a calligraphic sweep, and many lowercase letters rely on tight counters and compact bowls that reinforce the narrow, vertical texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with curved, open shapes and soft joins that keep them visually aligned with the letters.
