A brisk, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and rounded terminals. Strokes have smooth, low-contrast modulation and a slightly springy baseline rhythm, mixing connected cursive joins with occasional separated letters. Letterforms are compact and narrow overall, with prominent ascenders/descenders, generous loops, and simplified, open counters that keep the texture light. Capitals are more flamboyant and gestural, functioning like quick signature-style initials rather than formal calligraphic caps.
Well-suited to short, expressive settings such as logos, café or boutique branding, packaging accents, social posts, invitations, and headline-style quotes. It performs best at display sizes where the loops, joins, and lively rhythm can be clearly appreciated.
The tone feels informal and personable, like quick handwriting on a note or label. Its energetic curves and looping shapes read cheerful and approachable, leaning toward a friendly, everyday authenticity rather than polished formality.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting—fast, fluid, and personable—while staying cohesive enough for repeatable use in titles and short phrases. The emphasis appears to be on an energetic signature feel with readable, rounded forms.
Spacing is relatively tight, and the joining behavior varies by letter, creating a natural handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase in running text.
