A slanted, brush-pen style script with smooth, continuous strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with rounded bowls, occasional looped ascenders/descenders, and a softly bouncing baseline that reinforces a hand-drawn rhythm. Stroke modulation is moderate and consistent, and the joins are fluid without becoming overly ornate, keeping the overall texture clean and readable at display sizes.
Well suited to short-to-medium text in brand marks, product packaging, café-style menus, social media graphics, greeting cards, and invitation work. It performs best where a friendly, human touch is desired and where generous sizing preserves the crispness of its curves and joins.
The tone feels warm and personable, like quick handwritten notes or casual signage. Its lively, slightly bouncy cadence gives it an upbeat character without becoming overly theatrical.
Designed to capture the feel of a quick, confident brush-script hand: energetic, compact, and easy to set for everyday expressive typography. The consistent slant and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on practical legibility while maintaining an unmistakably handwritten personality.
Capitals are simple and gestural, pairing naturally with the lowercase rather than dominating it. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and informal proportions that match the script’s rhythm.
