A brush-script with a steady rightward slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and rounded with smooth tapering at entries and terminals, giving a marker/brush feel rather than a sharp pen. Letterforms mix light connections with occasional breaks, maintaining a flowing rhythm without becoming overly ornate. Curves are generous and looped (notably in capitals and descenders), counters stay relatively open, and the overall texture reads dense but energetic across words and lines.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its brushy movement and weight can be appreciated—logos, product labels, posters, social graphics, and expressive headlines. It can also work for pull quotes and invitations when used at comfortable sizes with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is upbeat and personable, with a casual, hand-signed character that feels confident and slightly nostalgic. Its bold, rounded strokes project warmth and approachability while the consistent slant adds momentum and a sense of motion.
Designed to emulate a bold, handwritten brush signature with smooth joins and a controlled, repeatable rhythm for display typography. The aim appears to be a legible, energetic script that adds personality and emphasis without relying on excessive flourishes.
Capitals show simplified swashy gestures that help start words with emphasis without dominating the line. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with rounded terminals and a handwritten bounce that stays consistent with the letterforms.
