A lively handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are mostly monoline with slight swelling at turns and terminals, giving a smooth, low-contrast texture. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow counters and occasional looped constructions in capitals; joins are selective rather than fully connected, so words read as a flowing, written rhythm without strict continuous cursive. Ascenders are prominent, descenders are long and tapered, and terminals finish in soft hooks and flicks that reinforce the fast, gestural movement.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where an authentic handwritten voice is desirable—logos and branding accents, product packaging, posters, invitations, and quote graphics. It also works effectively for headlines or pull quotes paired with a simpler text face, where its narrow, slanted rhythm can add personality without taking over the layout.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a quick note written with a felt-tip or brush marker. Its springy slant and looping capitals add a friendly, slightly retro charm that feels expressive without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush handwriting while keeping forms consistent enough for repeatable typesetting. The emphasis appears to be on motion, charm, and legibility in display sizes, with distinctive capitals to create instant visual character.
Capitals tend to be more ornamental than lowercase, often using open loops and sweeping entry strokes that add emphasis at word starts. The numerals are similarly handwritten, with curved forms and angled strokes that match the script’s momentum, making the set feel cohesive in mixed text.
