A lively, brush-pen cursive with a consistent rightward slant and low-contrast, mostly monoline strokes. Letterforms are compact and angled, with a notably short x-height, long ascenders, and quick, tapered terminals that suggest fast handwriting. Curves are rounded and slightly bouncy, while joins in the lowercase lean toward a flowing script rhythm with occasional broken connections, keeping the texture informal. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the drawn, kinetic feel.
Works well for short display lines where personality matters: logos and brand marks, social posts, packaging accents, café menus, event invitations, and punchy poster headlines. It’s most effective at medium to large sizes, where the fast brush details and compact lowercase proportions remain clear.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, like a confident note written with a marker or brush pen. Its brisk rhythm and slightly irregular flow give it a spontaneous, conversational voice that reads as human and contemporary rather than polished or formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of real handwriting with a brush-pen edge—prioritizing momentum, warmth, and a natural, unforced script texture for expressive display typography.
Uppercase letters are simplified and gestural, pairing well with the lowercase’s continuous movement. Numerals follow the same quick-stroke logic, with smooth curves and minimal ornamentation, making them feel integrated rather than like a separate style.
