A slanted, brush-pen script with smooth, tapered terminals and rounded joins that keep the line moving quickly across the page. Strokes show subtle modulation and occasional thickened downstrokes, with a slightly compressed, right-leaning build. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text with open counters and simplified shapes, while capitals are larger and more gestural, using broad entry strokes and soft loops. Spacing is moderately tight and rhythm-forward, with small, energetic apertures and a compact lowercase profile.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where a casual handwritten voice is desirable—logos, product packaging, café menus, invitations, pull quotes, and social graphics. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a neutral sans or serif for headers and highlights, while long paragraphs may feel busy at small sizes.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick handwriting done with a marker or brush pen. Its lively slant and sweeping capitals give it a confident, upbeat feel suited to informal, human-forward messaging rather than formal correspondence.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting with a consistent forward slant and natural stroke taper. The emphasis is on fluidity and personality, providing a friendly script that reads clearly while retaining an informal, handmade character.
Stroke endings often finish with a soft flick, and many forms rely on single-stroke gestures that prioritize flow over symmetry. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly angled shapes that match the script’s forward motion.
