A flowing, brush-pen script with connected lowercase forms and a lively, bouncing baseline. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and thin upstrokes, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries and exits. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with tall ascenders/descenders and looped construction in characters like g, j, y, and z. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning but keep a handwritten rhythm, mixing open bowls and curved arms that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display text such as logos, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and social posts. It also works well for pull quotes and headings where the brush contrast and looping forms can remain crisp; for long passages, the energetic rhythm may become visually busy.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with an upbeat, personable feel typical of quick marker or brush lettering. Its energetic curves and looping descenders suggest a conversational, crafty aesthetic rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to emulate casual brush handwriting with a polished, consistent script flow. The intent appears to be approachable display lettering that feels personal and handcrafted while staying legible and cohesive across mixed-case text and numerals.
Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, enhancing the natural handwritten cadence. The numerals share the same brush-contrast and rounded finishing, and the punctuation/sample text shows smooth joining behavior that supports continuous word shapes.
