A lively, brush-pen script with a rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes have rounded terminals and occasional tapering, with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm that keeps forms energetic rather than mechanical. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with tight counters and a small x-height relative to tall ascenders and descenders; joins are mostly fluid, while some capitals and select letters read as stand-alone forms with calligraphic entry strokes. Numerals follow the same gestural logic, mixing smooth curves with brisk, angled turns.
Best suited to short display copy where its contrast and lively joins can be appreciated—logos, packaging labels, headlines, quotes, and social graphics. It can also work for invitations or greeting-style applications, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick marker lettering used for personal notes or cheerful signage. Its bouncy cadence and bold contrast give it a spirited, personable voice that feels approachable and upbeat.
Designed to capture an expressive, brush-written cursive look with bold contrast and an easy, conversational flow. The emphasis appears to be on personality and impact over strict uniformity, providing a confident handwritten accent for modern display typography.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, often built from broad strokes and loops that create strong word-shape at display sizes. Spacing appears intentionally snug, with natural width variation and slight asymmetry that emphasizes the handwritten character.
