A fluid, brush-pen style script with a consistent, low-contrast stroke and an overall rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmically spaced, with rounded turns, open counters, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a continuous flow in text. Ascenders and descenders are long relative to the small lowercase bodies, and terminals often finish in tapered flicks that keep the texture light and quick. Uppercase characters are larger and more gestural, with simplified, signature-like shapes that sit comfortably beside the more compact lowercase.
Well suited to logo wordmarks, boutique branding, product packaging, and social media graphics where a personal signature feel is desired. It also works nicely for short quote treatments, invitations, and header text, especially when set with ample tracking or paired with a simple sans for supporting copy.
The tone is informal and approachable, with the ease of quick handwriting and the energy of a confident pen stroke. It feels upbeat and conversational rather than formal, bringing a personal, human note to short messages and headlines.
Designed to capture the look of fast, natural cursive written with a brush pen—smooth, energetic, and legible at display sizes—while keeping the stroke structure simple and consistent for a clean handwritten impression.
In longer phrases the script maintains a steady baseline rhythm while preserving natural variation between letters, giving it an authentic handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same slanted, handwritten logic and read as casual and cohesive alongside the alphabet.
