A lively, brush-pen script with a forward slant and softly tapering stroke endings. Letterforms show a rhythmic, slightly bouncy baseline with rounded curves, open counters, and occasional looped constructions in both capitals and lowercase. Strokes are mostly smooth and continuous with modest contrast, giving a natural hand-drawn flow, while the overall spacing stays compact and tidy for a script.
Works well for short-to-medium headlines, logos, product labels, greeting cards, and quote graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It can also support secondary accent text in layouts, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The tone feels informal and personable, like quick lettering for notes, packaging, or social posts. Its energetic loops and relaxed joins read cheerful and conversational rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of modern brush handwriting in a controlled, repeatable font, balancing casual charm with consistent proportions and readable forms for display use.
Capitals are simplified and legible, leaning more toward handwritten initials than ornate swashes, helping headings feel expressive without becoming overly decorative. Numerals and punctuation follow the same brushy rhythm, maintaining a cohesive handwritten texture across mixed-content lines.
