A fluid, brush-pen cursive with a consistent rightward slant and medium stroke modulation. Forms are narrow and lively, with rounded turns, tapered stroke endings, and occasional swell at curves that suggests pressure variation. Letter construction mixes connected-script habits with some discrete characters, creating a handwritten rhythm that stays readable while retaining spontaneity. Capitals are larger and more gestural, using open loops and long entry/exit strokes, while lowercase shows compact bodies with prominent ascenders and descenders that add vertical animation.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, and social media graphics where a personal signature-like feel is desired. It also works for informal headlines or pull quotes, especially when ample line spacing is available to accommodate long ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like quick, confident handwriting used for a note or a label. Its bouncy movement and soft terminals keep it informal, while the controlled repetition of shapes prevents it from feeling messy.
Designed to emulate everyday brush handwriting with a smooth cursive flow, combining playful loops and tapered terminals for a natural, human cadence. The goal appears to be friendly legibility with enough variation to feel hand-made rather than mechanically scripted.
Numerals follow the same pen-like logic, with simple, rounded constructions and slight flair in curves and tails. Spacing feels naturally uneven in a handwritten way, and the slant plus long strokes can create a strong horizontal flow in words and short phrases.
