An expressive handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes alternate between hairline connectors and heavier downstrokes, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered flicks. Letterforms are loosely cursive: many lowercase join smoothly, while capitals often stand more independently with taller, gestural forms. Spacing is compact and rhythm is lively, with variable character widths and slightly uneven baseline behavior that reinforces the hand-drawn character.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where its high-contrast strokes and animated connections can shine—such as branding, logo wordmarks, packaging, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker lettering on a card or packaging label. Its energetic loops and springy movement read informal and approachable, with a touch of whimsy rather than formality.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush lettering with natural pressure changes and casual joins, aiming for an authentic handwritten look that feels energetic and human. The set prioritizes expressive silhouettes and personality over strict uniformity, making it ideal for attention-grabbing display typography.
Capitals show strong personality and scale contrast against the lowercase, creating a headline-first feel. Numerals and punctuation follow the same brush logic, with simplified shapes and occasional calligraphic swashes that can create distinctive word silhouettes.
