A lively brush-pen script with an overall rightward slant and a mix of connected and separated strokes. Letterforms show tapered terminals and pressure-like thick–thin modulation, with rounded turns, open bowls, and occasional looped entries and exits. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with short lowercase bodies contrasted by tall ascenders and long, swinging descenders. Stroke rhythm is loose and organic, and the irregularities in width and joins reinforce a hand-drawn, spontaneous texture while remaining consistently readable.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where a human, hand-lettered feel is desirable—logos, product labels, café menus, quotes, and promotional headlines. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a simple sans for supporting copy, especially in digital graphics and lifestyle-oriented print pieces.
The tone is warm and informal, like quick, confident handwriting done with a felt-tip or brush pen. It feels upbeat and personable, suited to friendly messaging and light, contemporary craft aesthetics rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to mimic natural brush handwriting with an energetic, slightly condensed rhythm, balancing expressive stroke movement with practical legibility. The goal appears to be an approachable script that feels modern and handmade without becoming overly ornate.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often using single-stroke constructions and soft curves that help start words with emphasis. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and slight variations in stroke weight that keep them visually cohesive with the alphabet.
