A lively cursive script with a forward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, with tapered entries and exits, rounded terminals, and occasional sharp hairline flicks. Letterforms are narrow and compact with tall ascenders/descenders, a relatively small lowercase body, and a rhythmic, slightly bouncy baseline. Connections are fluid in running text, while capitals stay legible and decorative with simple swashes and looped construction.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where an informal handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, boutique packaging, social media graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes. It works especially well when used with generous tracking or paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting in marker or brush pen. It reads upbeat and approachable, with enough polish to feel intentional rather than messy. The energetic loops and brisk stroke endings add a playful, crafty character.
Designed to emulate modern brush handwriting with smooth connectivity and expressive stroke contrast, balancing charm and clarity for display-oriented use. The narrow proportions and tall extenders aim to keep words compact while maintaining a lively, handwritten rhythm.
Spacing in words appears comfortably open for a script, helping readability despite the tight proportions. Uppercase forms are distinctive and bold in silhouette, while lowercase maintains consistent movement through joined strokes and rounded counters. Numerals match the handwritten logic, leaning and flowing in the same ductus as the letters.
