A lively cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are smooth and tapered at entries and exits, with modest contrast and rounded terminals that keep the texture light and open. Letterforms are narrow and rhythm-driven, with compact lowercase proportions and a relatively small x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Caps are simple and legible with occasional looped or swashed construction, and figures follow the same handwritten cadence with single-stroke simplicity.
Well suited for short-to-medium headlines where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, packaging callouts, café or lifestyle collateral, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or emphasis lines in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calm sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting done with a fine brush marker. It reads as upbeat and contemporary rather than formal, with just enough flourish to feel expressive without becoming ornate.
Designed to capture the look of fast, elegant handwriting with a brush-like stroke—balancing expressiveness, readability, and a light footprint on the page.
Connections between lowercase letters appear natural and mostly continuous, while some joins remain lightly separated, preserving clarity. The set maintains a coherent stroke behavior across letters and numerals, giving a steady line of text even with the inherent handwritten irregularity.
