A lively handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a loose, brush-pen texture. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle pressure swelling and tapered terminals, giving letters a quick, drawn-on-paper feel. The rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with variable letter widths and open counters that keep words from feeling dense. Ascenders and capitals are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact, producing a strong upper/lowercase contrast in silhouette.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where an approachable, handmade tone is desired—such as brand accents, packaging labels, quotes, event invitations, and social media graphics. It performs best at display sizes or in headings, where its texture and lively stroke endings remain crisp and intentional.
The font reads as informal and personable, like a quick note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its energetic curves and slightly imperfect stroke edges convey warmth and spontaneity, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to mimic fast, natural handwriting with a brush-pen character while staying legible in words. The emphasis appears to be on expressive rhythm and a friendly tone rather than strict uniformity or formal script precision.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and handwritten rather than calligraphic, and many joins are implied through proximity rather than fully connected continuous strokes. Numerals follow the same quick, handwritten logic, with rounded forms and occasional looped strokes that match the letter rhythm.
