A flowing cursive with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen flavor. Strokes are smooth and rounded, with moderate contrast from implied pressure and frequent tapered terminals. Letterforms favor open counters and generous curves, with occasional looped entries/exits and soft, calligraphic joins that keep words moving. Uppercase shapes are larger and more decorative, while lowercase stays compact with a notably short x-height and tall ascenders that create a vertical, bouncy rhythm.
Well-suited to short to medium-length phrases where a handwritten voice is desirable—logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headings, and display copy where the energetic rhythm and expressive capitals can carry the message.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like neat handwriting done with a brush marker. It reads as personable and upbeat, with a touch of elegance from the swashes and looping capitals. The lively motion and soft curves give it a friendly, invitational character rather than a formal script feel.
Designed to deliver an easygoing handwritten script with enough polish for display use. The compact lowercase and tall ascenders prioritize a lively silhouette and strong word shapes, while the rounded brush-like strokes aim for friendly clarity at typical headline sizes.
Spacing appears comfortable for a script, with visible connections in running text and clear separation where joins would otherwise tangle. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the same slanted, rounded stroke logic as the letters.
