A narrow, brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a mostly upright stance. Strokes taper into fine hairlines and swell into rounded terminals, creating a rhythmic, hand-drawn texture. Letterforms show loose cursive construction with frequent joins and occasional lifted connections, plus generous loops in forms like g, y, and z. Capitals are tall and flourish-prone, while lowercase stays compact with a relatively small x-height and elastic spacing that contributes to an informal, variable rhythm.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: headlines, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the thin connecting strokes.
The font feels personable and upbeat, with a handmade charm that reads as spontaneous rather than polished. Its lively loops and brushy contrast give it a warm, crafty tone suited to approachable messaging and lighthearted branding.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with a neat, narrow footprint—delivering an expressive, friendly script that remains legible in display use while retaining natural variation and hand-drawn character.
The narrow proportions and high contrast make the texture more delicate at small sizes, while the energetic capitals and long descenders add visual motion in headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and slightly irregular widths that reinforce the human feel.
