A lively, brush-pen script with quick, fluid strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are right-leaning and compact, with tall ascenders/descenders and a relatively small lowercase body that gives the line a vertical, airy rhythm. Terminals are rounded and slightly tapered, and many joins feel implied rather than strictly continuous, preserving a handwritten spontaneity. Capitals are larger and more gestural, mixing simple stems with occasional loops and swashes, while numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and informal, drawn-by-hand construction.
Best suited for short display text where its brushy contrast and handwritten character can be appreciated—logos, boutique branding, product labels, social posts, and card or invitation headings. It can also work for pull quotes or short highlights, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like a neat hand-lettered note made with a brush marker. Its bounce, looping details, and soft terminals create a warm, inviting voice that feels informal and creative rather than formal or technical.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush calligraphy in a tidy, repeatable font: energetic, legible for a script, and expressive enough to add personality to headlines and names without requiring extensive ornament.
The texture varies subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an authentic hand-rendered feel. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a pleasant way, and the narrow, upright proportions help keep words compact while the high-contrast strokes maintain strong presence at display sizes.
