A lively, brush-pen cursive with a rightward slant, narrow letterforms, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show tapered entry/exit terminals and occasional swelling on downstrokes, giving a wet-ink, hand-drawn rhythm. Capitals are tall and looped with simplified, open counters, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and long, fluid ascenders/descenders. Connections are frequent in running text, but not strictly continuous, producing a varied, natural handwritten flow.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as logos, product labels, greeting cards, invitations, and social posts where personality is more important than strict uniformity. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headers, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, with a buoyant, slightly whimsical cadence that feels quick and spontaneous. High contrast and looping forms add a touch of drama, while the narrow proportions keep it agile and modern rather than ornate.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting: narrow, high-energy letterforms with strong contrast and looping capitals that read as human and approachable. The overall intent appears to balance legibility with an expressive, signature-like presence for display use.
Spacing and stroke finish vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an authentic handwritten texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same brushy logic, with rounded shapes and tapered ends that match the script’s movement.
