A lively, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are smooth and slightly tapered, with rounded terminals and occasional swelling that suggests pressure changes rather than rigid stroke construction. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, creating an energetic vertical rhythm. Connections are frequent in lowercase and in running text, but not overly tight, leaving open counters and clear inner spaces for a light, breathable texture.
Works best for short to medium display text where a human, handwritten voice is desired—logos, product packaging, café menus, quotes, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also serve as an accent face alongside a clean sans or serif to add warmth and emphasis in headings and pull quotes.
The overall tone is casual and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, packaging callouts, or informal headlines. Its bouncy rhythm and looping forms read as upbeat and approachable, with a slightly expressive, improvised character rather than polished calligraphy.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a brush-pen cadence—prioritizing charm, momentum, and readability in expressive display settings. The narrow, upright-to-slanted construction and tall proportions aim to keep words compact while preserving a distinctly personal, hand-drawn feel.
Capitals show simplified, gestural shapes that mix script-like movement with legible, sign-style structures, helping starts of words stand out. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded curves and consistent slant, making them fit naturally in short labels and display lines.
