A tall, brush-pen script with a lively rightward slant and loosely connected cursive construction. Strokes show clear pressure-driven modulation, with heavier downstrokes and lighter upstrokes, plus occasional tapered terminals and soft, rounded joins. Letterforms are narrow and vertically stretched, with compact counters and a low, delicate lowercase presence relative to the long ascenders and descenders. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, giving lines a handwritten rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke behavior and overall cohesion.
Well-suited to branding accents, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and quote-style headlines where a handcrafted, conversational voice is desired. It also works for posters, invitations, and product tags, especially at larger sizes where the brush modulation and looping connections can be appreciated.
The font feels informal and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or social content. Its energetic rhythm and tall proportions lend a contemporary, upbeat tone, while the brush texture and irregularities keep it approachable and human.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a fashionable, vertical script silhouette—balancing legibility with expressive, signature-like movement for modern display typography.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, signature-like capitals that pair smoothly with the lowercase rather than acting as formal display caps. Several letters feature prominent loops and extended entry/exit strokes, which add flair but also increase visual movement in longer words; short words and headlines benefit most from this expressive flow.
