A lively, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms show sharp, tapered entry and exit strokes paired with thicker downstrokes, creating an animated high-contrast rhythm. Proportions are compact and narrow with tight internal counters, and the overall texture is slightly irregular in a natural, hand-drawn way. Connections appear intermittently (more in lowercase), while capitals tend to stand more independently with sweeping, simplified forms.
Well-suited for short to medium headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, and social graphics where a handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for quotes or subheads when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity at smaller sizes.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a quick, energetic cadence that feels human and spontaneous. Its brisk slant and punchy downstrokes give it a confident, upbeat tone suited to modern casual messaging rather than formal stationery.
Designed to emulate fast, confident marker or brush handwriting with a polished, repeatable consistency. The emphasis appears to be on expressive motion and strong word shapes that feel personal and contemporary in display settings.
Uppercase forms are stylized and gestural, with several letters relying on single sweeping strokes that can feel signature-like in headings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with curved terminals and varying stroke pressure that keeps them consistent with the script texture.
