A lively brush-pen script with smooth, continuous strokes and a rightward slant. The letterforms show rounded turns, tapered terminals, and occasional ink-like thickening at curves and joins, creating an organic rhythm. Proportions are tall and compact with tight internal counters, and the set mixes more connected lowercase behavior with upright, signature-like capitals. Numerals match the handwritten flow, with simple shapes and soft curves rather than rigid geometry.
Well suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as logos, product labels, café menus, social posts, pull quotes, and poster headlines. It performs best at display sizes where the brush texture and lively joins stay clear, and as an accent paired with a simpler sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, like a quick handwritten note or a modern signature. Its bouncy movement and brushy texture give it an upbeat, approachable feel that reads as contemporary and creative rather than formal or traditional.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident brush handwriting with a signature-like presence. The goal appears to be an expressive, modern script that feels human and spontaneous while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Stroke endings frequently finish with slight flicks and hooks, and spacing feels naturally uneven in a handwritten way, producing an authentic, crafted cadence in text lines. Uppercase forms are more gestural and varied, providing emphasis without looking ornamental.
