A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining smooth curved strokes with occasional sharper entry/exit flicks. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and slightly irregular terminals, giving the forms a natural, drawn rhythm. Letterforms are generally upright-leaning with flowing joins in the lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and simplified, often built from single continuous gestures. Ascenders are tall and prominent, counters are compact, and spacing is tight, producing a dense, energetic texture in words and lines.
Well-suited to short, personality-forward text such as logos, labels, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for headlines or pull quotes where an informal, handwritten voice is desired, especially at medium to larger sizes where the stroke contrast and tight spacing stay clear.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick but confident handwriting used for notes or friendly signage. Its looping forms and bouncy rhythm read as approachable and expressive rather than formal or technical.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable typeface, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The intent appears to be a versatile casual script that feels personal and energetic while remaining consistent across a full alphanumeric set.
The alphabet shows a mix of connected lowercase and more independent capitals, which creates a casual, hand-lettered look in mixed-case text. Numerals are simple and slightly quirky, matching the brushy stroke endings and maintaining the same energetic cadence as the letters.
