A lively, brush-pen script with a forward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, occasional ink-like swell points, and rounded turns that keep the rhythm fluid. Letterforms are generally narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and compact lowercase proportions that emphasize vertical movement. Capitals are more embellished, featuring gentle swashes and curved terminals that add flair without becoming overly ornate.
Well-suited to short, expressive copy such as logos, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. It also works for pull quotes and headings when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the stroke detail.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick handwritten lettering used for friendly notes or upbeat branding. Its energetic loops and springy rhythm convey warmth and spontaneity, with a slightly theatrical flair in the capitals.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a polished, repeatable structure, balancing casual authenticity with enough consistency for display typography. The swashier capitals and tapered terminals suggest an emphasis on eye-catching titles and personal, friendly communication.
Connectivity varies: many lowercase letters read as loosely connected in running text, while some forms remain more separative, reinforcing a natural handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same brushy construction and slanted posture, maintaining consistency across text and display use.
