A narrow, brush-pen script with a forward slant and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation, with tapered entry/exit terminals and occasional heavier downstrokes that keep the texture energetic without becoming bold. Letterforms favor rounded bowls, tall ascenders, and compact counters, with a slightly bouncy baseline and variable letter widths that feel naturally written. Connections are frequent in lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and gestural, featuring simple loops and long, sweeping strokes.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where a personable, handwritten voice is desired—such as logos, boutique branding, product labels, café menus, quotes, and social graphics. It also works for invitations and greeting-style headings, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with an informal, personal feel that reads like quick marker lettering. Its narrow build and lively motion give it a contemporary, social-friendly personality—expressive without feeling overly ornate.
Likely designed to capture a quick, modern brush-script look that feels authentic and spontaneous, while staying legible through narrow proportions and clear, familiar letter shapes. The design emphasizes flow and personality over strict uniformity, mimicking natural pen movement.
Uppercase forms have a distinct, simplified script look that can read as monoline-like in places, while the lowercase carries more of the brush texture and connectivity. Numerals are similarly handwritten, with smooth curves and consistent slant, matching the letter rhythm.
