A slanted, brush-pen style script with a lightly textured stroke and modest contrast between thick and thin segments. Forms are compact and tall with tight sidebearings, giving lines a condensed rhythm while maintaining a flowing cursive motion. Curves are soft and rounded with occasional pointed joins, and terminals often taper as if lifted from the page. Uppercase letters read as simplified, handwritten caps that sit comfortably alongside the lowercase rather than functioning as formal calligraphic initials.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display settings where a casual handwritten voice is desired, such as branding, social graphics, packaging callouts, invitations, and poster headlines. It can also work for pull quotes and subheads when ample size and line spacing are available to preserve its loops and tapered details.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting with a touch of energy. Its brushy texture and looping shapes add warmth and approachability, making it feel more conversational than formal. The slant and lively stroke endings contribute to a dynamic, spontaneous character.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a consistent forward slant and compact proportions, balancing legibility with expressive, personal character. The goal appears to be an everyday script that feels energetic and authentic without becoming overly ornate.
Letterforms show consistent forward movement and a steady baseline, but with natural variation in stroke sweep and join shapes that reinforces the hand-drawn feel. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, staying narrow and upright-to-slanted with simple, readable silhouettes that match the alphabet’s tempo.
