A flowing handwritten script with a brush-pen character and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are mostly unconnected, but they keep a consistent cursive rhythm with soft entry/exit strokes, occasional loops, and tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and slim with long ascenders/descenders, a compact lowercase body, and a lively, slightly irregular baseline that reinforces the hand-drawn feel. Capitals are simplified and gestural, while lowercase forms lean toward single-stroke construction with open counters and rounded turns.
Works best for short to medium display copy such as logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also suit headings or pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face to support readability.
The overall tone is warm and personable, balancing casual note-taking energy with a touch of refinement from its calligraphic contrast. It feels lighthearted and approachable, suitable for expressive, human-centric messaging rather than formal or technical settings.
Likely designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting—capturing natural speed, pressure changes, and a relaxed cursive cadence while keeping letterforms legible in display contexts.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same handwritten logic, with open shapes and clear, brush-like tapering at ends. The spacing appears intentionally loose and rhythmic, helping maintain clarity despite the slender proportions and expressive stroke variation.
