A lively cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show gently tapered starts and finishes, with rounded terminals and smooth, looping joins that keep words flowing. Letterforms are relatively compact with tall ascenders and descenders, giving the line a light, buoyant rhythm. Capitals are simple and legible, while lowercase forms lean on single-storey shapes and soft curves for an even, handwritten texture.
Well-suited to short, expressive settings such as logos, product labels, café or lifestyle branding, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It works best at display sizes where the brushy terminals and looping joins can read clearly, and it can also add a handwritten accent to subheads or pull quotes when used sparingly.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting. Its rhythmic loops and slight bounce add a cheerful, approachable character that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to emulate smooth, everyday cursive written with a brush pen, balancing friendliness and legibility. The goal appears to be an easygoing script that adds human warmth and motion without becoming overly ornate.
Connections between letters are generally continuous in text, with occasional open spacing that preserves clarity. Numerals match the script’s slant and rounded finishing strokes, integrating naturally with the alphabet for cohesive mixed-content settings.
