A lively, handwritten script with a brisk rightward slant and brush-pen modulation that creates crisp thicks and hairline joins. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders, a small lowercase body, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a flowing rhythm. Strokes alternate between smooth, rounded curves and occasional sharp flicks, giving the alphabet a slightly irregular, human cadence while maintaining consistent overall structure.
Well suited for short to medium display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It also works nicely for branding accents or headings when paired with a quieter sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is informal and upbeat, with a light, breezy energy that feels personal and conversational. Its high-contrast brush character and springy curves lend a modern craft feel—friendly rather than formal, and more expressive than precise.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering that reads as authentic and spontaneous while remaining clean enough for repeated use in display settings.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, looped constructions with prominent vertical emphasis, while lowercase shapes rely on slender connectors and buoyant terminals. Numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing sturdy downstrokes with delicate, calligraphic hairlines for a cohesive handwritten texture.
