A condensed, brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals. Strokes show slight wobble and ink-like texture, giving a hand-drawn rhythm rather than mechanical uniformity. Letterforms are generally upright with narrow counters and compact spacing; ascenders and descenders are relatively long compared to the x-height, and many characters use simple looped entries/exits that suggest cursive connection even when not fully joined. Capitals are tall and slightly irregular, with occasional swelling on downstrokes and tapered hairlines on turns.
Works best for short, expressive text such as headlines, packaging labels, social media graphics, greeting cards, invitations, and quote-style layouts. It can also suit small brand marks or product names where a hand-lettered feel is desired and ample size is available for the counters to stay open.
The overall tone feels upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a note card. Its lively stroke contrast and small irregularities add charm and spontaneity, steering the style toward informal, modern craft and boutique branding.
Designed to mimic quick brush script with a narrow footprint, balancing legibility with a casual, handmade personality. The emphasis appears to be on energetic display typography that feels personal and crafted rather than formal or traditional.
The alphabet shows consistent stroke logic across upper and lowercase, with a noticeable bounce between rounded bowls and narrow verticals. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm and remain legible at display sizes, though the tight interior spaces suggest it will read best when not set too small or too tightly tracked.
