A lively, brush-pen script with a forward slant and generous, rounded curves. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation, with tapered entry/exit terminals and occasional heavier downstrokes, creating a confident handwritten rhythm. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a low-to-moderate x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical bounce. Joins are suggested rather than strictly continuous, and the overall texture stays dark and even, with smooth counters and soft, sweeping swashes on select capitals.
Well-suited for short display copy where personality matters: logos, packaging callouts, café or lifestyle branding, posters, and social graphics. It also works nicely for quote cards, invitations, and headings paired with a simple sans for longer text.
The tone is warm and conversational, with an upbeat, personal feel typical of marker or brush handwriting. Its quick, flowing motion and soft curves lend an approachable charm that reads as human and spontaneous rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to emulate bold brush handwriting with a smooth, legible flow and a slightly condensed footprint, balancing expressiveness with readability. The emphasis appears to be on energetic word shapes and a friendly, modern-retro script presence for headline and branding use.
Capitals tend to be more decorative and open, while lowercase forms keep a consistent slanted rhythm that helps words feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, leaning and rounding to match the script texture, which keeps mixed text looking unified.
