A lively cursive script with a brush-pen character, combining smooth joins with occasional pen-lift breaks. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with teardrop terminals, soft curves, and a forward, calligraphic slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow with compact counters and a relatively small x-height, while ascenders and descenders add a rhythmic vertical sweep. Capitals are simplified and swashy without becoming overly ornate, and spacing feels organic, giving lines a gently bouncing baseline texture.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where personality matters—logos, boutique branding, product packaging, greeting cards, and event materials. It also performs nicely for social posts, quotes, and headings where the energetic rhythm can carry the design. For best clarity, use generous size and spacing, and reserve long paragraphs for more restrained companions.
The font reads warm and personable, like quick hand-lettering done with a flexible marker. Its flowing loops and soft terminals create a lighthearted, approachable tone that can also lean slightly romantic when set larger. Overall, it feels informal and expressive rather than precise or technical.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush lettering in a polished, consistent script. The emphasis appears to be on an expressive, narrow silhouette with high-contrast strokes and friendly loops that create an instantly human, handcrafted voice.
Numerals follow the same brush-script logic, with rounded shapes and occasional entry/exit strokes that help them blend with text. Some glyphs show intentional irregularities in stroke endings and join behavior, reinforcing the handmade impression and adding character at display sizes.
