A lively handwritten script with brush-pen construction and a forward slant. Strokes show clear pressure-driven contrast, with tapered entries and exits and rounded terminals that keep the texture soft. Letterforms are narrow and compact, while spacing and stroke rhythm vary just enough to feel natural rather than mechanically uniform. Uppercase forms are tall and simple, and the lowercase has a small x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders, giving lines a vertical, energetic profile.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters: branding accents, packaging callouts, café or boutique signage, posters, and social media graphics. It also works for invitations or quote layouts when paired with a calmer sans or serif for supporting copy.
The font reads as personable and upbeat, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or social content. Its bouncy rhythm and informal stroke endings create an approachable, conversational tone rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of brush handwriting in a compact, energetic form, balancing expressive contrast and tapering with readable, uncomplicated letter shapes for everyday display use.
Connections between letters appear intermittent rather than strictly continuous, which helps preserve clarity in longer text while keeping a handwritten feel. Numerals match the same brushy, slightly irregular stroke behavior and blend well with the alphabet in mixed settings.
