A lively, slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and medium stroke modulation. Forms are tall and compact with tight sidebearings, giving text a narrow, vertical rhythm. Strokes show tapered entries and exits with rounded terminals, and many letters suggest connective motion even when they don’t fully join, creating a flowing baseline cadence. Uppercase characters are simplified and elongated, while lowercase maintains a small, neat core with energetic ascenders and descenders.
Works best for short, expressive copy such as logos, product labels, café menus, invitations, and social posts where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a clean sans or serif for contrast, especially in headings, pull quotes, and callouts.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, labels, or a signature. Its rhythmic slant and soft, brushy edges read as warm and approachable, with just enough texture to feel human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural handwriting with a brush-pen slant, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The narrow, upright rhythm and tapered strokes aim to deliver a modern casual script suitable for everyday editorial and brand accents.
The narrow proportions and slightly irregular handwritten cadence create a brisk texture in paragraphs, while the tall capitals add emphasis in short phrases. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, open shapes that keep the set cohesive.
