A slanted, brush-pen script with connected lowercase forms and a rhythmic, bouncy baseline. Strokes show clear pressure modulation with tapered entries and exits, rounded turns, and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Letterforms are compact with tight spacing tendencies, narrow counters, and lively ascenders/descenders that add vertical energy. Uppercase characters are simplified and slightly more separated, reading like swift, gestural initials that sit comfortably alongside the more continuous lowercase.
Well-suited for short to medium text where personality matters: brand marks, product packaging, café or boutique materials, social posts, invitations, and pull quotes. It performs best at display sizes where the tapered strokes and looping joins remain clear and the handwriting texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick handwritten notes made with a felt-tip or brush marker. Its energetic curves and soft terminals give it a friendly, personal voice that feels modern-casual rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable digital form, balancing expressive stroke contrast with steady letter rhythms for readable, personable display typography.
Several shapes show expressive loop construction (notably in g, y, and j), while others use open, single-stroke solutions for speed and clarity. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with smooth curves and angled stress that keeps them consistent in text settings.
