A slanted, brush-pen script with smooth, tapering strokes and noticeable thick–thin modulation. Letterforms mix connected cursive behavior with occasional breaks, giving words a natural hand-drawn rhythm rather than a rigid continuous join. Ascenders are tall and prominent, descenders are long and rounded, and many capitals use large entry/exit loops that add flourish without becoming overly ornamental. Curves stay soft and open, terminals are mostly rounded, and overall spacing feels slightly irregular in a deliberate, handwritten way.
It performs best in short to medium settings where its expressive stroke contrast and looping capitals can shine—such as logos, product labels, café menus, posters, social graphics, and invitations. For longer passages, it works more as an accent or pull-quote style than as continuous body text.
The font reads as personable and upbeat, with a spontaneous marker/brush feel that suggests quick, confident handwriting. Its loops and sweeping capitals bring a cheerful, approachable tone suited to warm messaging rather than formal or technical content.
The design appears intended to capture the look of modern brush handwriting with energetic movement and a friendly, contemporary personality, balancing flourish in the capitals with simpler, legible lowercase forms for practical display use.
Capitals are notably more decorative than lowercase, creating a strong headline presence. Numerals and punctuation adopt the same handwritten logic, with simplified shapes and lively slant that keeps texture consistent across mixed-case text.
