A brush-pen style script with a right-leaning slant and brisk, handwritten rhythm. Strokes show pronounced pressure modulation, with tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional blunt, inked terminals that mimic marker or brush contact. Forms are compact and upright in footprint, with tight spacing, narrow counters, and a slightly bouncy baseline that adds motion. Ascenders are tall and slender, while bowls and loops are simplified and drawn with quick, confident curves for a clean, contemporary hand-lettered look.
Best suited for short to medium display copy where a handwritten personality is desired—logos, labels, packaging callouts, social posts, and headline treatments. It can also work for invitations or greeting-style messaging, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the loops and ascenders breathe.
The font feels informal and upbeat, combining a personal, handwritten tone with the energy of quick brush lettering. Its narrow, high-contrast strokes give it a stylish, modern edge while keeping the overall impression approachable and friendly.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting for contemporary display use, balancing expressive capitals with a more controlled lowercase for readable, energetic phrases.
Capital letters are more decorative and gestural, using larger loops and longer strokes that create strong word-shape signatures. Lowercase is comparatively restrained, prioritizing speed and legibility through compact joins and simplified curves. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm, with rounded, handwritten shapes and tapered ends that maintain consistency in mixed text.
