A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining tall ascenders, compact lowercase, and a gently right-leaning stance. Strokes show clear pressure modulation with tapered entries and exits, rounded terminals, and occasional ink-like thickening in downstrokes. The rhythm is loose and bouncy, with alternating narrow and wider letterforms and frequent looped construction in capitals and select lowercase shapes. Forms stay legible while keeping an informal, drawn texture rather than rigid typographic precision.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where personality is the priority—logos, boutique packaging, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and pull quotes. It also works nicely for social media graphics and headers, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, reading like quick, confident handwriting for notes, labels, and upbeat messaging. Its looping capitals and energetic stroke endings add a playful charm that feels approachable rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting while preserving readability, using tall, expressive capitals and a compact lowercase to create strong, distinctive wordmarks. The controlled contrast and tapered terminals aim to simulate real pen pressure and give a handcrafted finish.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, often built from single continuous gestures with oversized loops that create distinctive word shapes. Lowercase joins are intermittent, so text can feel semi-connected with a natural handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same brushy construction, with open curves and simple, handwritten silhouettes.
