A brush-pen script with compact proportions, smooth curves, and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear pressure modulation: thick downstrokes and finer entry/exit strokes, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered flicks. Letterforms are mostly connected in lowercase, with open counters and simplified joins that keep words readable at display sizes. Capitals are taller and more gestural, mixing upright stems with looped swashes, while numerals follow the same drawn, slightly irregular rhythm.
Best suited for short display copy such as logos, product packaging, quotes, posters, invitations, and social media graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when given generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker or brush lettering used for informal notes and cheerful branding. Its bouncy rhythm and soft curves give it a welcoming, handmade feel rather than a strict calligraphic formality.
Designed to mimic confident brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable type system—prioritizing warmth, speed, and visual momentum. The forms emphasize expressive capitals and smooth connected lowercase to deliver a casual script look that remains legible in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a handwritten way, which adds character but can create dense dark areas in tightly set text. The alphabet shows consistent brush logic across cases, with distinctive loops in letters like g, y, and f and a softly simplified structure in straight-sided letters (e.g., E, F, T) to maintain flow.
