A slanted, brush-pen script with smooth, flowing strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms show a lively baseline and slightly irregular rhythm, with rounded joins and occasional looped ascenders/descenders that reinforce a handwritten feel. Capitals are tall and simplified, while lowercase forms lean on quick, cursive construction with open counters and compact internal spaces. Numerals follow the same gestural logic, with rounded shapes and hand-drawn variability that keeps texture active in longer lines.
Well suited for short-to-medium display settings where a personable handwritten voice is desired, such as logos, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes and headers when paired with a simple sans serif for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, suggesting quick notes, signatures, and informal messaging. Its energetic slant and bouncy movement give it a cheerful, expressive character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush-written cursive with clean digital consistency, balancing expressive loops and flicks with a readable, modern script structure.
Stroke endings often finish with subtle flicks and hooks, and spacing feels naturally uneven in a way that reads as authentic handwriting. The long, narrow silhouette and consistent forward motion help lines of text feel continuous and fast.
