A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing tapered terminals and noticeable stroke modulation across curves and joins. The letterforms lean forward with a quick, gestural rhythm, mixing soft rounded turns with occasional sharp hooks and flicks. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with tall ascenders/descenders and relatively small interior counters that keep the texture dense. Connections are suggested in many lowercase shapes, while capitals tend to stand more independently, creating a natural hand-lettered contrast between cases.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display settings such as branding accents, packaging callouts, social posts, event promos, and poster headlines. It can also work for quotes or product names where an expressive handwritten voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where the stroke contrast and joins remain clear.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—energetic and approachable rather than polished or ceremonial. Its brisk slant, springy curves, and brushlike endings give it a conversational, upbeat character that feels contemporary and human.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with a contemporary slant, prioritizing personality and momentum over strict uniformity. The overall construction aims for an authentic hand-drawn presence that feels friendly and dynamic in modern display typography.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, marker-like caps with minimal ornament, while lowercase shows more cursive movement and looped constructions (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with flowing strokes and open, airy shapes, keeping the set cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
