A flowing script with tall ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase bodies, and a lively rightward slant. Strokes show brush-pen behavior: rounded terminals, subtle swelling through curves, and occasional sharper turns where strokes change direction. Letterforms are mostly connected in running text, with open counters and generous loops that keep the texture airy despite the narrow set and compressed spacing. Capitals are larger and more decorative, featuring long entry strokes and occasional flourishes, while numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm with simplified, single-stroke forms.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as brand marks, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headlines, and signatures where the cursive motion and decorative capitals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm and personable, evoking casual handwritten notes and cheerful boutique branding. Its looping forms and springy baseline give it an upbeat, slightly whimsical character that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to mimic a natural brush-pen script with connected handwriting and expressive loops, prioritizing personality and motion over strict geometric consistency. The narrow, upright-running rhythm and decorative capitals suggest an emphasis on elegant, space-efficient display lettering for modern lifestyle and stationery uses.
The alphabet shows noticeable individuality between letters, with varied join shapes and a lightly irregular rhythm that reinforces the hand-drawn feel. Some joins and loops create prominent dark spots at tight turns, which can become a key part of the texture in longer lines.
