A lively, brush-pen script with a pronounced forward slant and high-contrast stroke modulation. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters, producing an economical, vertical rhythm. Strokes taper to fine terminals while downstrokes thicken, and many joins suggest continuous handwriting even when characters are not fully connected. Capitals are simplified but expressive, with occasional looped entries and exits and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn baseline flow.
Well-suited to short display text where a handwritten signature feel is desirable—logos, product packaging, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and social posts. It can also work for punchy headings or pull quotes when set with generous spacing and paired with a simple sans for body copy.
The overall tone feels upbeat and personable, like quick but confident hand lettering. Its rhythmic bounce and soft curves read as welcoming and informal rather than ceremonial, with enough polish to feel intentional.
Designed to capture a modern brush-script look that balances legibility with expressive movement. The narrow, upright-leaning structure and consistent contrast suggest an aim for energetic, contemporary hand lettering that remains tidy in word shapes.
Ascenders are prominent and slender, and several letters feature distinctive loops (notably in forms like g, y, and z), adding character at display sizes. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm, with open, rounded shapes and tapered ends that maintain the handwritten cadence.
