A casual, brush-like script with an italic forward slant and compact proportions. Strokes show moderate contrast, with tapered starts and finishes that mimic pressure changes from a marker or brush pen. Letterforms are mostly unconnected but maintain a consistent rhythm through repeated entry strokes, soft curves, and rounded terminals. Capitals are more embellished and looped, while lowercase stays simpler and compact, producing a slightly bouncy, handwritten line color. Numerals follow the same brushed, calligraphic movement with open counters and smooth, continuous curves.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, packaging callouts, café/food messaging, event posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or small blocks of emphasis text when set with generous spacing and size for clarity.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes or casual headlines. It feels energetic without being loud, balancing a playful bounce with a neat, controlled brush texture.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering in a clean, repeatable font form, combining informal note-taking energy with enough consistency to function reliably in display typography.
Several glyphs feature distinctive looped or swashed forms (notably in some capitals), creating visual emphasis in short words. The compact x-height and narrow silhouette help it stay tidy, but the lively stroke endings and occasional flourish keep it expressive.
