An informal cursive script with a brisk rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation—thicker on downstrokes and lighter on upstrokes—creating a lightly textured, hand-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are tall and compact with small counters and a quick, springy baseline that gives the line a bouncy cadence. Joins are generally smooth but not overly polished, with occasional tapered terminals, rounded turns, and slightly varied stroke endings that reinforce the handwritten character.
Well-suited for short display settings such as logos, product labels, café menus, invitations, quotes, and social posts where a personal, hand-lettered tone is desired. It also works for subheads and callouts, and can be paired with a simple sans for longer copy to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its lively loops and energetic slant read as upbeat and approachable rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush handwriting while staying consistent enough for repeatable, digital typesetting. The compact proportions and flowing connections aim to deliver an expressive script voice that feels personable and contemporary.
Uppercase forms are simplified and signature-like, mixing open curves with occasional looped bowls, while lowercase shapes keep narrow apertures and modest ascenders/descenders for a compact color on the page. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded, open forms and consistent slant, supporting an even texture in mixed text.
