A compact, brush-pen script with a rightward slant and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show soft tapering at terminals and occasional ink-like swelling through curves, creating a natural medium-to-high stroke modulation without feeling formal. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with looped ascenders/descenders and a mix of connected and loosely connected joins that keep words flowing while preserving distinct shapes. Counters are small and rounded, and many capitals use simplified, gestural constructions that read quickly at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, packaging callouts, poster headlines, and social media graphics. It can also work for invitations or quotes when set with generous spacing and enough size to preserve its tight counters and tapered details.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, like quick marker lettering on a sign or notebook. It feels personable and energetic, balancing charm and readability with a slightly spontaneous, hand-drawn edge.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with a compact footprint and energetic slant, prioritizing personality and momentum over strict uniformity. The forms aim for an approachable, contemporary script feel that remains legible in punchy display settings.
Capitals and lowercase have noticeably different personalities: capitals are more gestural and upright-leaning in places, while lowercase is more loop-driven and continuous. Numerals match the brushy construction and maintain the same narrow, vertical emphasis, helping mixed text stay cohesive.
