A lively cursive script with brush-pen character and a right-leaning posture. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavier downstrokes and lighter, tapered upstrokes; terminals are rounded or softly flicked. Letterforms are compact and tall with a bouncy baseline, generous ascenders/descenders, and frequent looped constructions (notably in capitals and in letters like g, y, and z). Connections are fluid in text, while individual glyphs retain slightly varied widths and stroke joins that keep the handwriting feel.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos and brand marks, packaging labels, social posts, greeting cards, invitations, and pull quotes. It works best at sizes where the stroke contrast and loops remain clear, and where its informal rhythm can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is warm and personable, evoking quick hand lettering made with a brush pen. Its energetic rhythm and soft curves read as approachable and upbeat rather than formal, making it feel contemporary and crafty.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush-pen cursive: expressive, connected, and legible enough for headlines while retaining the spontaneity of hand lettering. The emphasis appears to be on charm and momentum, with decorative capitals and smooth linking that support flowing word shapes.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, with simplified, open counters and occasional flourish-like entry/exit strokes that help lead into connected lowercase. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and slight irregularities that match the script’s natural movement.
