A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining rounded bowls with tapered stroke endings and clear contrast between thick downstrokes and finer connecting strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a buoyant baseline rhythm, and strokes often join loosely, giving words an easy, flowing movement rather than strict continuous connections. Counters are compact and softly shaped, terminals are frequently flicked or hooked, and capitals are taller and more expressive, standing out with simple, gestural construction. Numerals follow the same informal, drawn rhythm with slightly varied widths and handwritten irregularity that keeps the texture animated.
Well suited to short-to-medium phrases where personality matters: boutique branding, product packaging, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It works especially well for headings, pull quotes, and accent text when paired with a neutral sans or serif for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like quick marker lettering used in notes, labels, or casual signage. Its energetic slant and springy curves create a cheerful, conversational voice that feels personal and informal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture an everyday brush-script look with energetic slant, quick joins, and expressive capitals, prioritizing friendliness and motion over rigid consistency. The forms aim to read clearly at display sizes while retaining the charm of hand-drawn variation.
Stroke joins and curves show natural hand pressure changes, producing a textured, human cadence across lines of text. The narrower overall set and compact lowercase help maintain a tidy line length while still preserving a spontaneous, handwritten character.
