A lively brush-script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation that mimics a flexible pen or brush. Letterforms are tall and compact with a narrow overall footprint, rounded bowls, and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a lightly connected rhythm in words. Terminals alternate between tapered points and soft, inked ends; ascenders are long and smooth, while many lowercase forms sit low with a relatively small x-height. Capitals are more decorative and loopy, with occasional swashes and exaggerated curves that add personality without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where its contrast and narrow rhythm can stay crisp: invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, social graphics, and poster headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The font reads cheerful and personal, like neat hand lettering for invitations or craft labels. Its bouncy rhythm and looping capitals give it a warm, approachable tone that feels informal but still polished enough for display use.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush calligraphy in a compact, upright-leaning script that stays legible while still feeling handmade. The decorative capitals and smooth joining behavior suggest an emphasis on expressive wordmarks and headline settings rather than dense paragraph text.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and columnar due to the narrow proportions, while the varying stroke contrast and occasional joins give words a continuous, handwritten flow. Numerals follow the same brushed, slightly irregular calligraphic logic, helping maintain consistency across headings that mix text and numbers.
