A lively brush-script with a rightward slant and flowing, semi-connected construction. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, with rounded terminals, occasional tapered entries, and soft, slightly textured edges that suggest a marker or brush pen. Uppercase forms are tall and prominent with generous curves and loop-like gestures, while lowercase is compact with narrow counters and long, swinging ascenders and descenders that add movement. Overall spacing is moderately tight and the rhythm is bouncy, giving lines an energetic, handwritten cadence.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired: logos, boutique branding, product packaging, social media graphics, invitations, and quote-style headlines. It performs best at larger sizes where the stroke modulation and looping joins can remain clear.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—more like quick hand-lettering than polished calligraphy. Its looping shapes and buoyant baseline feel cheerful and conversational, lending a light, crafty warmth without becoming overly delicate.
Designed to mimic fast, confident brush handwriting with a cohesive cursive flow and an energetic, modern script silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on expressive movement and personality over strict uniformity, creating a natural hand-drawn feel in both uppercase and lowercase.
Digit forms follow the same brushy logic, with rounded bowls and occasional open curves that keep them consistent with the letterforms. The contrast is most noticeable in curved strokes and joins, and the slanted axis helps words read as a continuous gesture, especially in mixed-case settings.
