A lively, brush-pen script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent forward slant. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, rounded terminals, and occasional swashy cross-strokes, giving letters a rhythmic, handwritten cadence. Letterforms are compact with relatively small counters and a modest x-height, while ascenders and descenders add vertical animation. Uppercase characters lean toward simplified, monoline-like skeletons accented by heavier downstrokes, and the numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast with soft curves and narrow proportions.
Best suited to short to medium display settings where its contrast and brush texture can breathe—greeting cards, invitations, boutique packaging, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It also works well for headings or accents paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like a neat note written with a flexible marker. Its buoyant loops and smooth connections suggest approachability and a handmade sensibility, balancing legibility with an expressive, personal voice.
Designed to emulate modern, everyday brush lettering with a clean, friendly finish. The aim appears to be an expressive script that feels handcrafted yet controlled enough for branding and decorative copy.
Connections between lowercase letters are generally smooth, but not overly strict, which keeps the texture airy rather than tightly woven. Contrast concentrates on downstrokes, and the lighter hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes; spacing feels intentionally uneven in a natural, handwritten way.
