A lively brush-script with a rightward slant, tapered terminals, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that mimics pressure from a pointed brush or marker. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with buoyant curves, rounded bowls, and frequent looped joins; connections are implied even where letters remain slightly separated. Ascenders and descenders are long and active, and the lowercase sits relatively low with compact counters, giving the line a nimble, handwritten rhythm.
Works best at display sizes for logos, packaging labels, social posts, invitations, and short headlines where the textured brush contrast can remain crisp. It can also support subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to preserve its lively joins and loops.
The font reads warm and personable, with an upbeat, spontaneous feel that suggests quick hand lettering rather than careful calligraphy. Its energetic strokes and playful loops create a welcoming tone suited to informal, human-centered messaging.
Designed to capture the immediacy of modern brush lettering with a compact, upright energy—balancing legibility with expressive stroke contrast and a naturally flowing cursive cadence.
Capitals are simple and gestural, pairing well with the more connected lowercase; overall spacing is slightly irregular in a natural way, reinforcing the hand-drawn character. Numerals follow the same brush logic with soft curves and tapered ends, keeping the set consistent in texture.
