A compact, right-slanted cursive script with a brush-pen feel and softly tapered terminals. Strokes keep an overall even, monoline rhythm, with gentle thick–thin nuance coming from the simulated pen angle and pressure at joins and curves. Letterforms are narrow and tall with tight counters, frequent looped entries/exits, and rounded bowls; connections are implied by flowing strokes even when characters are separated. Capitals are decorative but readable, mixing simple upright stems with occasional loops and swashes, while the numerals follow the same handwritten cadence.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, small business branding, packaging callouts, social posts, greeting cards, invitations, and quote graphics. It can also work as an accent face alongside a simple sans for headings or highlights, rather than for dense body copy.
The overall tone is personable and informal, like quick but confident handwriting. Its lively slant and bouncy rhythm give it a warm, upbeat character that feels approachable rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the look of natural, connected handwriting with a brush-pen smoothness and a compact, energetic silhouette. The intent appears to prioritize warmth and immediacy—legible enough for headlines and phrases while retaining the spontaneity of a hand-drawn script.
Ascenders are prominent and descenders are long and curved, adding motion in words and emphasizing a handwritten texture. The texture is consistent across the alphabet and figures, with occasional flourish-like hooks on capitals and some lowercase forms that create visual emphasis in short phrases.
