A casual handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining thick vertical strokes with fine hairline joins and terminals. Letters are mostly upright with a slightly bouncy baseline and compact proportions, creating a tight, energetic rhythm. Forms are rounded and loop-friendly, with occasional simplified joins and open counters that keep the texture readable despite the narrow build. Capitals are tall and expressive, often starting with a light entry stroke and finishing with a tapered exit, while lowercase maintains smooth connectivity and quick, gestural terminals.
Works best for short to medium display text where a personal, handcrafted impression is desirable—logos, product labels, invitations, headings, pull quotes, and social media graphics. The narrow footprint helps fit longer words into tight spaces, while the brushy contrast brings emphasis in titles and callouts.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick hand-lettering for notes, packaging, or social captions. Its lively contrast and springy spacing give it a personable, upbeat voice that feels approachable rather than formal or traditional.
Designed to emulate fast, confident penmanship with a brush-pen contrast, balancing legibility with expressive motion. The goal appears to be a versatile casual script that can feel decorative in headlines while staying readable in brief phrases.
The font shows deliberate stroke modulation—bold downstrokes paired with thin connecting strokes—producing a textured, inked look even at larger sizes. Numerals match the handwritten character with curved shapes and tapered ends, supporting cohesive set dressing in short UI labels or headlines.
