A brisk, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are compact and tall, with narrow proportions, tight internal counters, and frequent looped joins that keep words moving on a steady baseline. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation: heavier downstrokes and lighter exits, with slightly pointed terminals and occasional hooked ascenders/descenders. Spacing is fluid rather than uniform, producing an energetic rhythm and a natural handwritten texture in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited for short, expressive text where personality matters: brand marks and taglines, packaging accents, social posts, greeting cards, invitations, and quote graphics. It can also work as a secondary script for headings or callouts when paired with a simpler sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone feels informal and upbeat, like quick, confident handwriting in ink. It reads as approachable and human, with a spirited cadence that suggests spontaneity and warmth rather than formality.
Designed to capture the pace and character of natural cursive writing while maintaining enough consistency to function as a display script. The compact, tall construction and brush-like modulation prioritize a lively handwritten impression and strong word shape in headlines.
Capitals are simplified but expressive, often built from a few sweeping strokes that set an immediate handwritten character at the start of words. Descenders (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z) are long and curvy, adding flourish in running text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slim with light, flowing curves.
