A lively, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and high-contrast stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and compact, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, elegant rhythm. Curves are smooth and continuous, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries/exits that suggest quick, confident handwriting. Spacing is tight and the overall texture is energetic, with subtle irregularities that keep the line feeling human rather than mechanically uniform.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handwritten personality is desired—logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, social posts, invitations, and poster-style headlines. It performs best at larger sizes where the delicate hairlines and tight internal counters can remain clear.
The tone is upbeat and personable, like a handwritten note or a boutique sign. Its looping forms and springy rhythm read as warm and expressive, balancing a touch of elegance with an informal, conversational feel.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of modern brush lettering while staying consistent enough for repeatable typographic use. The narrow, tall proportions and expressive capitals suggest an aim toward stylish, space-efficient headlines with a personal, handcrafted voice.
Capitals are especially expressive, often featuring larger loops and sweeping strokes that stand out in display settings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, maintaining the brush-like contrast and upright-to-slanted flow for a cohesive voice across mixed content.
