A brush-pen script with a slightly right-leaning slant and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals tend to be rounded or softly tapered, giving the outlines a wet-ink feel. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight sidebearings, while ascenders and capitals reach high, creating a narrow, vertical rhythm. The baseline is generally steady but retains small handwritten irregularities, and the overall spacing varies to preserve an organic flow in words and sentences.
Well-suited to short display settings where a handwritten voice is desired, such as packaging, café menus, invitations, social graphics, and pull quotes. It performs best at medium to large sizes where the tight, narrow rhythm and connected strokes can be appreciated without crowding.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a lighthearted, approachable tone. Its looping joins and brisk stroke movement suggest quick note-taking or a handmade label, leaning more friendly and crafty than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush handwriting in a tidy, repeatable system. The intention appears to balance natural pen movement with enough consistency for readable, compact word shapes in modern display use.
Capitals are simplified and legible with occasional looped or swashed gestures, helping words start with a strong vertical accent. Lowercase shapes stay compact and connected, and numerals follow the same pen-drawn logic with simple, open forms suited to casual contexts.
