A casual script with brush-pen energy and a lively, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes are smooth and mostly monoline with gentle thick–thin modulation, ending in rounded terminals that often taper slightly. Letterforms are narrow and springy, with compact counters and occasional looped joins; connections are suggested rather than rigidly continuous, keeping the texture airy and handwritten. Capitals are tall and simplified, while lowercase forms are tighter and more compact, giving the overall line a bouncy, informal cadence.
Works well for short to medium text where an informal, personal voice is desired—logos, product packaging, café-style signage, greeting cards, invitations, and pull quotes. It is especially effective at larger sizes where the looping details and brush movement remain clear.
The tone is warm and approachable, like quick marker lettering on a note or package label. Its relaxed loops and slightly irregular stroke flow add personality and spontaneity without feeling messy. Overall it reads as cheerful, personal, and lightly whimsical.
Designed to mimic fast, confident handwriting with a brush pen, prioritizing warmth and expressiveness over strict uniformity. The narrow, rhythmic forms aim to keep word shapes compact while maintaining a flowing script character.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way that reinforces the hand-drawn feel, and the numerals share the same rounded, pen-led construction. Descenders and ascenders are prominent, contributing to a tall, fluttery silhouette in mixed-case text.
