A casual, handwritten script with a brisk rightward slant and a brush-pen rhythm. Strokes show pointed entries and exits with tapered terminals, and the letterforms mix smooth curves with occasional angular pivots, giving a lively, drawn-in-one-pass feel. Lowercase forms are compact with tall ascenders and deep, looped descenders, while capitals are larger and more gestural, often built from a single sweeping stroke. Connections between letters are intermittent rather than fully continuous, producing an open, legible flow with energetic spacing and slightly irregular widths typical of handwriting.
Works well for short to medium text where personality is the priority: logos and wordmarks, product labels, café menus, quotes, and social graphics. It also suits invitations and event materials, and can be effective for headings or callouts when paired with a quieter sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with an upbeat, personal character that feels like quick, confident marker lettering. It reads as approachable and expressive, suited to messaging that aims to feel human and spontaneous rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture an energetic, brush-written signature style that balances expressiveness with readability. The letterforms emphasize swift motion, tapered terminals, and looped structures to deliver a natural handwritten look in display applications.
Digit shapes follow the same pen-driven logic as the letters, with simple forms and noticeable tapering at turns. The set maintains consistent slant and stroke energy across uppercase and lowercase, while natural variations in join behavior and letter width add to the handwritten authenticity.
