A brush-pen style script with a forward slant and energetic stroke rhythm. Letterforms show tapered entries and exits with rounded terminals, combining smooth curves with occasional sharp turns where strokes change direction. Proportions are compact with tall ascenders and descenders, and the baseline has a subtly bouncy, hand-drawn cadence. Capitals are prominent and gestural, while lowercase forms use simple, flowing shapes with looped details on letters like g, y, and f; numerals follow the same angled, handwritten construction.
Well suited for short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as brand marks, product labels, café or boutique signage, event invites, and promotional graphics. It can also work for emphasis in quotes or headlines, especially when paired with a clean sans or understated serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lively, conversational feel. Its assertive strokes and rhythmic movement make it feel upbeat and personable rather than formal or reserved.
Designed to emulate confident brush handwriting with a smooth, flowing script structure and expressive capitals. The intent appears to balance personality and readability, giving text an informal human touch while keeping forms cohesive and consistent across the set.
Spacing appears naturally variable, like handwriting, with occasional tighter joins and open counters that help maintain clarity in continuous text. The strongest personality comes through in the expressive capitals and the looped descenders, which add flair without becoming overly ornate.
