A smooth, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and rounded stroke endings. Strokes show gentle pressure modulation, with thicker downstrokes and lighter connecting strokes, creating a clean, medium-contrast rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and compact with a relatively small x-height, while ascenders and descenders add vertical flourish; terminals and joins are soft and slightly tapered, giving the line a flowing, continuous feel.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is needed—logos, product labels, café menus, social posts, greeting cards, and invitations. It can also work for pull quotes and headers, especially when paired with a neutral sans for body text.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like neat personal handwriting with a touch of bounce. It reads as upbeat and personable rather than formal, making text feel conversational and inviting.
Designed to deliver an easygoing cursive look that feels hand-drawn yet controlled, balancing legibility with expressive brush-like movement. The narrow proportions and smooth joins suggest a focus on fitting energetic script into tight spaces while maintaining a consistent, polished line.
Caps are simplified and legible, designed to sit comfortably alongside the lowercase without becoming overly ornate. Spacing and joins support a steady cursive flow, while the numerals keep the same brushy, handwritten logic for cohesive mixed-content settings.
