A brush-pen cursive with a lively, bouncy rhythm and rounded terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapering entry and exit strokes, giving letters a painted look rather than a monoline script. Forms are compact and slightly right-leaning, with generous curves, occasional looped ascenders/descenders, and softly irregular stroke edges that reinforce the hand-drawn character. Capitals are simple, upright-to-slanted gestures with modest flourish, while numerals follow the same brush logic with rounded shapes and tapered ends.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where its brush contrast and cursive motion can shine—logos, packaging callouts, café/restaurant menus, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a cheerful, personal feel typical of quick brush lettering. It reads as expressive and energetic without becoming overly ornate, making it feel conversational and upbeat.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable set of forms—prioritizing personality, flow, and bold presence over strict formality. The restrained flourishes suggest an intention to stay versatile for contemporary branding and promotional use.
The texture is consistently brush-like across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with clear contrast between downstrokes and upstrokes and slightly varied stroke widths that add natural movement. Letter connections are implied by the cursive construction, but individual glyphs remain legible at display sizes due to open counters and simplified joins.
