A casual, brush-pen cursive with narrow proportions and a lively, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show a natural handwritten modulation, with thicker downstrokes and lighter upstrokes, and rounded, soft terminals that keep the texture smooth. Letterforms are tall and slender, with prominent ascenders/descenders and a comparatively small x-height, giving words an airy, vertical feel. Connections are common in lowercase, while capitals read as simplified handwritten initials that sit cleanly alongside the script.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos and small branding moments, packaging callouts, invitations and greeting cards, social graphics, and quote-style headlines. It works best at display sizes where the fine upstrokes and tight proportions can remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick but confident marker lettering. Its narrow, tall rhythm feels energetic and informal, lending a lighthearted, conversational mood without becoming messy.
Designed to mimic natural brush-script handwriting with a narrow, vertical stance and easy, flowing joins. The intent appears to balance spontaneity with enough consistency for readable, repeatable setting in contemporary casual design.
Spacing and widths vary in a hand-drawn way, which adds charm and motion in longer lines. Numerals follow the same pen-driven logic with simple, legible shapes that keep the set consistent with the script texture.
