A lively, brush-pen style script with a pronounced forward slant and quick, gestural construction. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, producing tapered entries/exits and occasional thicker downstrokes, with rounded terminals and soft corners throughout. Letterforms are compact and slightly tall in feel, with small counters and a relatively modest x-height compared to the ascenders, giving the line a buoyant, handwritten rhythm. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, and the alphabet mixes simplified forms with occasional looped bowls and long, sweeping ascenders/descenders that add motion.
Works well for short to medium headlines, brand marks with a handmade feel, boutique packaging, invitations, and lifestyle-oriented social graphics. It also suits pull quotes and display lines where the energetic stroke texture and bouncy rhythm can be appreciated without needing dense text settings.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat marker lettering for notes, packaging, or social captions. Its bounce and looping details create an upbeat, approachable voice that feels handcrafted rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the speed and charm of brush-lettered handwriting while remaining legible and consistent across the alphabet and numerals. The emphasis appears to be on friendly display impact, with expressive capitals and rhythmic lowercase shapes that read naturally in phrase settings.
Capitals are expressive and varied, often built from broad, single-stroke gestures that stand out at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open, rounded shapes and soft tapering that keeps them visually aligned with the script texture.
