A lively brush-pen script with flowing, semi-connected strokes and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered entries and exits, rounded bowls, and occasional looped joins that create a rhythmic, calligraphic texture. Capitals are larger and more gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact with relatively small counters and a bounce in the baseline. Numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing sturdy downstrokes with flicked terminals for a cohesive, handwritten set.
Works best for short to medium display text such as logos, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes where the brush contrast and loops can be appreciated. It also suits social media graphics and headers that need a friendly, handcrafted voice, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with an upbeat handmade energy that feels conversational rather than formal. Its brushy contrast and looping gestures suggest spontaneity and charm, making it feel inviting and slightly whimsical.
Designed to mimic confident brush handwriting with a polished, repeatable rhythm—capturing the immediacy of a marker or brush pen while remaining consistent enough for branding and display typography.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in a controlled way, reinforcing the hand-drawn character; some joins and terminals are intentionally long, which adds flair but can create dense clusters in longer words. The slant and contrast make the texture more prominent at display sizes than in small text.
