A flowing, brush-pen script with a steady rightward slant and rounded, open curves. Strokes are smooth and monoline-like, with softened terminals and occasional swelling where curves turn, creating an inked, handwritten feel. Letterforms are moderately compact with a relatively small x-height, tall ascenders/descenders, and generous loops in characters like g, y, and f. Spacing and rhythm are lively, with slightly irregular widths and a natural, drawn baseline that stays readable in longer text.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is needed, such as branding accents, boutique packaging, café menus, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for headlines or pull quotes, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is personable and upbeat, evoking quick, confident handwriting with a light, conversational charm. It feels approachable and modern, with enough flourish to be expressive without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture the look of a brush-written signature style: quick, fluid, and personable, with consistent stroke movement and readable, rounded forms that prioritize warmth and expressiveness.
Capitals are simple and gestural, designed to lead into the following letters smoothly, while lowercase shapes emphasize continuity and rounded joins. Numerals match the handwritten script character, with curved forms and consistent stroke behavior that blends well in informal settings.
