A lively, brush-pen script with a rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and swell through curves, creating a rhythmic, handwritten texture. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a relatively low x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that add vertical liveliness. Connections are suggested in the cursive construction, but spacing remains readable and the forms keep an organic, hand-drawn irregularity.
Best suited for short, expressive text such as logos, product packaging, social posts, invitations, and headline-style quotes. It can also work for subheads or accents paired with a simple sans or serif, where its energetic brush texture provides contrast and personality.
The overall tone feels personable and upbeat, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its looping joins and springy curves give it a lighthearted, informal energy without becoming messy.
Designed to capture the feel of modern brush lettering—expressive, quick, and personable—while keeping letterforms consistent enough for repeated use in branding and display settings.
Capitals are expressive and loopy with prominent entry strokes, making them effective for initials. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm and slant, keeping a consistent texture when mixing text and numbers. The contrast and tapered ends are most evident at larger sizes, where the stroke nuance reads as intentional brushwork.
