A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel, built from fast, tapered strokes that swell into heavier downstrokes and snap into fine hairline exits. Letterforms are tall and slim with compact lowercase bodies, creating a vertical, slightly bouncy rhythm. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, with many characters finishing in long entry/exit strokes and occasional looped joins. Capitals are prominent and gestural, often formed as single sweeping strokes with open counters and generous curves; figures are simple and handwritten, matching the same tapered contrast and forward slant.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as logos, product packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, and poster headlines where its stroke contrast and looping forms can read clearly. In longer paragraphs or small sizes, the tight lowercase and energetic joins may reduce readability, so it’s strongest as a display script.
The overall tone is informal and energetic, like quick signage or a personal note written with a flexible marker. Its looping capitals and brisk stroke endings give it a confident, upbeat character that feels contemporary and approachable rather than formal or ceremonial.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting—combining quick, confident strokes with expressive loops—while keeping a consistent, stylized silhouette for repeatable display use.
Stroke terminals frequently end in sharp, flicked points, and many letters show pronounced ascenders and descenders that add motion in longer lines of text. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a handwritten way, and the contrast between thick and thin strokes becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
