A casual brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, flowing strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded, open curves with tapered terminals and occasional heavier pressure points that suggest a marker or brush tip. Strokes are mostly unconnected but keep a cohesive cursive rhythm, with compact proportions and tight spacing that create an efficient, handwritten texture. Capitals are simple and legible, often starting with a swift entry stroke, while numerals follow the same informal, slightly bouncy construction.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—brand accents, packaging callouts, café menus, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It performs best at display sizes and in headlines or pull quotes, where the brush-like stroke and lively rhythm are most apparent.
The overall tone feels conversational and approachable, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes or informal signage. Its energetic motion and soft curves give it a friendly, upbeat character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting with a clear, contemporary script structure, balancing informal charm with straightforward legibility. The goal appears to be an easygoing cursive that can add human warmth and motion to modern layouts without heavy ornamentation.
The sample text shows a steady baseline with small natural irregularities, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn feel. Curves stay clean and uncluttered, keeping words readable even as the forms remain expressive and slightly gestural.
