A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and smooth, continuous strokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with compact counters and a noticeably small lowercase core, creating a high ascender/descender rhythm. Strokes stay mostly monoline with subtle pressure-driven thick–thin shifts, and terminals often finish in rounded flicks or tapered hooks. The set shows informal consistency: joins are fluid in the lowercase, while capitals are more open and gesture-driven, with occasional exaggerated loops and simplified interior structure for speed and flow.
Works best for short to medium lines where an informal, human tone is desired—social graphics, product labels, greeting cards, invitations, and lifestyle branding. It can also serve as a headline or accent face paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes and captions. Its springy proportions and looping gestures give it an upbeat, approachable character that reads as handmade rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a brush pen—prioritizing flow, gesture, and personality over rigid construction. The tall, narrow stance and energetic loops aim to deliver a distinctive handwritten texture that feels spontaneous and friendly in display settings.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way typical of handwriting, with some letters occupying more horizontal space (notably rounded and looped forms) while others stay tightly compressed. Numerals follow the same casual, written rhythm and maintain the tall, narrow stance, with simplified forms designed to keep pace with the script texture.
