A loose, brush-pen script with tall, slender proportions and a forward slant. Strokes show subtle pressure variation, with tapered entries and exits and occasional thicker downstrokes, creating a lively handwritten rhythm. Letterforms are mostly connected in text, with generous ascenders and descenders, compact counters, and slightly irregular terminals that reinforce an organic, drawn-by-hand feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same gestural logic, staying narrow and upright in structure while retaining fluid curves and soft joins.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as social media graphics, product packaging accents, invitations, quotes, and display lines on posters. It can also serve as a complementary script to a clean sans in branding systems where warmth and immediacy are needed.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, with a spontaneous, note-like energy. Its narrow, elongated forms and quick brush texture give it a modern, upbeat character that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to mimic quick brush handwriting with a controlled, repeatable structure, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The intent appears to be a versatile casual script that feels personal and contemporary, suitable for attention-grabbing headlines and signature-like accents.
Connections between letters are smooth but not overly polished, and the baseline movement adds charm and motion. The capitals are simplified and airy, pairing well with the lowercase without dominating, while the figures keep a consistent handwritten cadence suitable for informal emphasis.
