A brush-pen cursive with fluid, right-leaning forms and pronounced thick–thin modulation that mimics pressure changes in a marker or pointed brush. Strokes are rounded at terminals with frequent soft joins, occasional disconnected links, and a gently bouncy baseline rhythm. Counters are generally open and airy, while ascenders and descenders are long and expressive; capitals are larger and more gestural than the lowercase, with simplified, handwritten structures. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, handwritten cadence in words and lines of text.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where an informal handwritten voice is desired—such as greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social posts, packaging labels, and lifestyle branding. It also works well for punchy headlines and callouts when set with comfortable spacing to preserve the pen-like texture and internal openings.
The overall tone is cheerful and personable, like neat modern handwriting used for notes, cards, and casual branding. Its looping movement and lively contrast add a touch of charm and spontaneity without feeling overly messy or distressed.
Designed to emulate confident brush handwriting with a smooth, contemporary cursive flow. The goal appears to be an approachable, energetic script that reads quickly at display sizes while retaining the natural variation and charm of hand-drawn lettering.
Lowercase forms favor single-storey shapes and smooth loops, with distinctive swashes in letters like f, g, and y that add motion in running text. Numerals follow the same brush logic with rounded shapes and slightly irregular proportions, helping them blend into headings and short phrases rather than looking strictly tabular.
