A slanted, brush-pen script with smooth, continuous strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and upright-to-right-leaning, with narrow proportions and a rhythmic, handwritten bounce. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation, with thicker downstrokes and lighter upstrokes, and joins that range from fully connected to lightly separated depending on the letter. Ascenders and descenders are long and expressive, contributing to a tall, airy texture in text while keeping counters relatively tight.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where a personal, handcrafted voice is desired—logos, product packaging, café or boutique branding, quotes, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for invitations or event materials when a casual script feel is preferred over formal calligraphy.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick but confident note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. It reads energetic and personable rather than formal, with enough polish to feel intentional while still retaining an easy, spontaneous charm.
Designed to emulate fast, legible brush handwriting with a compact footprint and a consistent rightward slant. The emphasis is on flow and personality—using looping capitals, tall extenders, and pressure-like stroke modulation to deliver a friendly script texture that stands out in display use.
Capitals are more gestural and loop-driven than the lowercase, creating strong entry points for headlines and names. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and simple curves, maintaining consistency with the script texture. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a way that reinforces the hand-drawn character, especially in mixed-case settings.
