A smooth, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show gentle, calligraphic modulation—thicker on downstrokes and lighter on upstrokes—without looking overly formal. Letterforms are rounded and open, with frequent loops and sweeping entry/exit strokes that create a continuous rhythm; joins are implied even when characters don’t fully connect. Capitals are tall and expressive with long curves and occasional flourish, while lowercase forms stay compact with a comparatively low x-height and generous ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple strokes with a few looped shapes for a cohesive set.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, quotes, and social posts. It also works nicely for invitations and greeting-card style messaging, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick, confident handwriting made with a flexible marker. It feels upbeat and conversational, leaning toward charming and inviting rather than refined or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush handwriting: fast, fluid strokes, rounded loops, and an easygoing rhythm that reads as personal and contemporary. The set balances expressive capitals with more restrained lowercase shapes to keep the overall texture lively but usable.
Spacing and stroke endings are slightly irregular in a natural way, contributing to an authentic handwritten cadence. Distinctive looped forms in letters like g, y, and z add personality, while the smooth curves keep longer text visually even and legible at display sizes.
