A right-slanted cursive with a brush-pen feel, combining tapered entry strokes with heavier downstrokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with a bouncy baseline rhythm and frequent looping in capitals and descenders. Connections are fluid in text, while individual characters retain distinct shapes; counters are generally open and strokes show a lively, hand-drawn modulation rather than rigid geometry.
Well-suited to logos, boutique branding, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes where an informal signature-like voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes or short-to-medium text lines where the looping capitals and lively rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick, confident handwriting dressed up with a touch of polish. It reads as energetic and upbeat, with expressive loops that add charm without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to evoke natural handwritten cursive with a brush-script sheen, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The narrow proportions and consistent slant aim to keep words compact while maintaining a flowing, personable cadence.
Capitals feature prominent swashes and occasional interior loops, giving headlines a decorative spark. Numerals and lowercase share the same brisk slant and rhythmic stroke contrast, producing an animated texture that suits short phrases more than dense, small-size reading.
