A brush-pen style script with a smooth, monolinear feel and rounded stroke endings. Letterforms are slightly slanted with a lively baseline and varied rhythm, creating an organic handwritten texture. Curves are soft and open, counters are compact, and proportions run tall and slim, giving the alphabet a quick, upright momentum. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a controlled way, supporting an authentic hand-drawn look while staying readable in short phrases.
Best suited for expressive display use such as branding accents, packaging headlines, posters, and social media graphics where a human touch is desired. It also works well for short quotes, invitations, and titling, especially when paired with a neutral sans for supporting text.
The font communicates a relaxed, personable tone with a hint of spontaneity, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a note card. Its flowing forms and buoyant rhythm feel upbeat and approachable rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting—fluid, confident strokes with an informal cadence—while keeping shapes consistent enough for repeatable, polished use in modern graphic design.
Capitals have a simplified, sign-like construction that pairs cleanly with the more flowing lowercase. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded terminals and consistent stroke character, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
