A lively brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and smoothly modulated strokes that suggest pressure from a flexible tip. Letterforms are narrow and compact with rounded joins, open counters, and tapered stroke terminals that frequently finish in small flicks. The baseline is steady but the rhythm is bouncy, and widths vary naturally across glyphs, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand feel. Capitals are simplified and slightly taller than the lowercase, while numerals are straightforward and similarly brush-textured.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as headlines, pull quotes, invitations, labels, and brand accents where a handcrafted voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes and in moderate line lengths, pairing nicely with a neutral sans or simple serif for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick marker lettering for notes, menus, or social posts. Its brisk stroke energy and soft curves communicate approachability and spontaneity rather than formality or precision.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with a clean, modern script silhouette. The intent appears to balance casual personality with enough regularity to remain readable across common Latin letter and numeral forms.
Connections between letters are suggested by the script logic, but the forms retain clear individual shapes and generous spacing, helping legibility in short phrases. The brush texture reads strongest at larger sizes where the tapering and stroke swelling are more apparent.
