A slanted, brush-pen style script with lively stroke modulation and tapered terminals. Letterforms show a mix of smooth curves and slightly dry-brush texture, with frequent entry/exit strokes that suggest fast handwriting. Uppercase shapes are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create strong vertical rhythm. Connections are implied by flowing joins and overlapping strokes rather than perfectly uniform linking, giving the overall line a natural, uneven cadence.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where a personal, crafted voice is desired—such as brand marks, product packaging, poster headlines, invitations, and social content. It can also work for pull quotes and emphasis lines, but the compact lowercase and brisk stroke movement make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The font reads as upbeat and informal, with an energetic, handwritten feel that adds personality without becoming overly ornate. Its bouncy rhythm and brushy edges convey warmth and approachability, making text feel conversational and human.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting—quick, expressive strokes with natural variation and a strong forward slant. The emphasis appears to be on characterful display readability and an authentic, handmade tone rather than strict calligraphic consistency.
Spacing and proportions vary in a handwritten way, and some glyphs lean more strongly than others, reinforcing the organic character. Numerals follow the same brush-script logic, with rounded shapes and brisk diagonals that match the alphabet’s momentum.
