A handwritten cursive with a brush-pen feel, featuring slightly uneven stroke edges and subtle texture that suggests dry-brush ink. Letterforms show a mix of connected and loosely separated joins, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and frequent looped ascenders/descenders (notably in g, j, y). Proportions are compact with a relatively low x-height, while capitals are tall and simplified with a drawn, marker-like construction. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-done rhythm.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters, such as quotes, greeting cards, invitations, café or boutique branding, and packaging callouts. It also works effectively for headlines and social graphics where a friendly, handmade voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is relaxed and approachable, with a lively, spontaneous cadence that reads like quick personal handwriting. Its imperfect outlines and buoyant curves add warmth and informality, leaning toward playful and conversational rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a consistent, usable font, balancing legibility with expressive texture. The mix of cursive motion, looped forms, and slightly irregular strokes aims to feel authentic and human rather than mechanically polished.
The figures are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the letter texture and maintaining the same casual rhythm. In longer text, the energetic loops and variable connections create a distinctive flow that benefits from comfortable line spacing.
