A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel, showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and rounded with frequent loops and soft terminals, while letterforms stay relatively compact horizontally and sit on a gently animated baseline. Connections appear naturally in lowercase, with occasional breaks that read as realistic pen lifts, and capitals lean toward simplified, signature-like forms rather than formal swashes. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, mixing simple shapes with subtle stroke tapering.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a human, handwritten voice is desired—logos, product packaging, café or boutique signage, social media graphics, greeting cards, invitations, and pull quotes. It performs best at larger sizes where the contrast and joining details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with an upbeat, slightly playful rhythm that feels like quick, confident handwriting. Its contrast and slant add a touch of elegance, but the irregularities keep it approachable and informal.
Designed to mimic natural brush-script handwriting with a balance of legibility and expressiveness, aiming for a contemporary, signature-like look that feels personal and crafted rather than formal.
Ascenders are tall and prominent, and counters stay fairly open despite the narrow build, helping words remain recognizable at display sizes. The texture becomes more dynamic in mixed case, where the contrasting stroke weights and looped joins create a distinct hand-lettered color across a line.
