A slanted, brush-pen script with lively stroke modulation and slightly rough, tapered terminals that mimic quick ink on paper. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with open counters, rounded turns, and occasional swelling on downstrokes that creates an energetic rhythm. Proportions feel compact through the lowercase with tall ascenders and descenders, while caps are simple, flowing, and slightly irregular, reinforcing a handmade cadence. Overall spacing is moderately tight and the baseline shows a subtle bounce that adds motion without becoming chaotic.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a handwritten voice is desired—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, packaging callouts, café menus, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as informal and personable, like a fast handwritten note or a signature-style caption. Its brisk slant and brushy texture lend a spirited, conversational tone that feels approachable and human.
Designed to capture the immediacy of cursive handwriting made with a flexible brush or marker, balancing legibility with visible human variation. The intent appears to be an expressive, everyday script that feels authentic and energetic in display settings.
Distinctive looped forms (notably in letters like g, y, and Q) and sharp entry/exit strokes give the script a calligraphic flavor while keeping the overall feel relaxed rather than formal. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional angled cuts that match the pen-driven construction.
