A lively, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and rounded, flowing strokes. The letterforms show clear stroke modulation with tapered entries and exits, plus occasional heavier downstrokes that give the line a painted feel. Uppercase forms are tall and gestural with prominent loops and swashes, while lowercase is compact and quick, with simplified joins and occasional breaks that keep it readable. Overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a natural way, with narrow proportions and tight internal counters.
Works best in short to medium display settings where its brushy texture and looping capitals can be appreciated—such as logos, product packaging, posters, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It can also support subheadings or emphasis text when paired with a simple sans or serif for longer reading.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick handwritten lettering made with a confident brush or marker. It feels upbeat and approachable rather than formal, with enough flourish in capitals to add charm and personality. The overall impression is modern-casual and expressive, suited to friendly messaging and lifestyle-oriented design.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with an emphasis on speed, flow, and personality. The mix of compact lowercase and more expressive uppercase suggests an intention to provide both readability and a decorative lift for titles and brand-forward phrases.
Capitals are more decorative and varied than the lowercase, which creates a clear hierarchy for headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with curved, single-stroke constructions and a casual baseline feel. Stroke endings are often tapered or slightly flicked, reinforcing the hand-drawn character.
