A lively brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and narrow overall footprint. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thicker downstrokes and finer upstrokes, with slightly rough, ink-like edges that suggest a quick hand. Letterforms are mostly connected in text, with open counters and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes that create a fast rhythm. Uppercase shapes are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms sit low with compact bodies and frequent loops, producing a distinctly petite x-height feel.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, product packaging, posters, invitations, pull quotes, and social media graphics. It can also work for headlines and subheads, especially where an energetic, personal tone is more important than strict uniformity.
The font reads as informal and human, with the momentum of a handwritten note or marker signature. Its brisk, slightly rugged stroke texture adds energy and spontaneity, making it feel approachable rather than polished or ceremonial. The overall tone leans vintage-casual, like hand-lettered shop signage or personal journaling.
Designed to capture the look of fast brush handwriting in a typeable form, balancing legibility with expressive stroke movement. The goal appears to be a natural, signature-like flow that feels authentic and dynamic across both uppercase and lowercase text.
Spacing in running text appears naturally variable, with occasional extended terminals that add flourish and help guide the eye across words. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with angled, handwritten construction that blends comfortably with letters.
