A lively brush-script with slender, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean forward with a springy baseline rhythm, narrow proportions, and compact counters that keep words feeling tall and quick. Terminals are rounded and slightly blunted, with frequent looped joins and occasional lifted connections, giving the texture a natural handwritten cadence rather than rigid continuity. Ascenders are prominent while the lowercase body stays relatively small, and numerals follow the same narrow, flowing construction.
Well suited to short display copy such as logos, product labels, menu titles, greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at medium to large sizes where the thin joins and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, evoking informal notes, boutique branding, and contemporary craft aesthetics. Its rhythmic swells and looping forms feel expressive and conversational, adding warmth without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with a neat, modern finish—prioritizing personality, motion, and an approachable feel for contemporary display typography.
In longer lines the narrow, high-contrast strokes create a light color on the page, while the pronounced loops in letters like g, y, and f add distinctive personality. Capitals are simple and tall, mixing well with the lowercase for headline-style setting.
