A slanted, handwriting-style script with brush-pen modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes show clear entry/exit sweeps, rounded joins, and occasional looped forms, creating a flowing baseline rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall, with small lowercase bodies relative to ascenders and descenders, and a generally narrow footprint that keeps words streamlined. Letterforms lean on smooth curves over sharp angles, with consistent stroke energy and softly pointed finishes that reinforce a drawn, pen-on-paper feel.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display settings where a human, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, pull quotes, lifestyle packaging, and social media graphics. It can also work for subheads or emphasis text when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick but confident note-taking with a brush pen. Its buoyant slant and looping forms read as warm and approachable, with enough flourish to feel expressive without becoming ornate.
Designed to emulate quick, natural cursive written with a brushy pen, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The intention appears to be a versatile casual script that adds personality and momentum to titles and highlighted phrases.
The sample text shows good continuity in longer phrases, where the slight bounce and varied stroke endings add texture and motion. Capitals are more open and gestural, helping headings stand out while keeping a cohesive handwritten character with the lowercase.
