A casual cursive with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, low-contrast strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight internal spacing, rounded turns, and tapered terminals that mimic quick pen lifts. The rhythm is energetic and slightly bouncy, mixing simple looped forms with occasional open counters and brisk diagonals. Numerals and capitals follow the same handwritten logic, keeping a cohesive, informal texture across lines of text.
Well suited for short to medium headlines, branding accents, packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes where an informal handwritten tone is desired. It can also work for invitations or signage-style lines when used at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, with an easygoing, conversational voice. Its brisk slant and flowing joins give it momentum and warmth, reading like confident handwriting rather than polished calligraphy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick cursive writing while remaining clean and repeatable in digital type. The intent appears to be an approachable script that delivers motion and personality without relying on high contrast or ornate detailing.
Capitals show more flourish and stroke swing than the lowercase, helping create clear entry points for titles and short phrases. The texture stays relatively even, with minimal contrast shifts and a continuous, pen-driven line quality that favors speed and spontaneity.
