A brush-pen cursive with compact proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and fine hairlines, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries and exits. Letterforms lean mostly upright with narrow set widths, tall ascenders/descenders, and a noticeably petite x-height. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, and forms include simple loops and soft joins that keep the texture energetic and informal.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as logos, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, social posts, and pull quotes. The strong stroke contrast and narrow footprint help it stand out in headlines and brand marks, while the small x-height suggests avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with a handmade charm that feels personal and slightly whimsical. Its bouncy baseline and brushy contrast give it a crafted, boutique tone rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to evoke quick, confident brush handwriting in a polished, repeatable form—combining a bold signature feel with compact spacing for impactful display typography.
Uppercase characters are tall and simplified with a signature-like presence, while the lowercase relies on looped forms and narrow counters for a compact, rhythmic line. Numerals follow the same brush logic with rounded shapes and variable stroke weight, supporting display-oriented use where texture is desirable.
