A slanted, brush-pen cursive with compact proportions and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show subtle thick–thin modulation with tapered entries and exits, suggesting a pressure-sensitive tool rather than a rigid pen. Letterforms mix soft loops with occasional sharp turns, and many characters carry long ascenders/descenders that add vertical sparkle. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, drawn feel while keeping an overall consistent baseline and stroke texture.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a casual handwritten voice is desired—logos, product labels, café/restaurant materials, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It works especially well at display sizes where the tapered terminals and loops remain clear.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick note-taking or a friendly brand signature. Its energetic curves and brisk slant create a sense of motion, giving text a warm, upbeat character without feeling overly delicate.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with a polished consistency for repeatable typesetting. The compact build and lively slant aim to deliver a signature-like impression that feels personal while staying readable in common headline and callout scenarios.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, script-styled capitals with occasional open counters and prominent entry strokes, while lowercase leans more connected in spirit than strictly connected in construction. The figures are similarly handwritten, with rounded shapes and modest flourish, matching the script’s tempo.
