A lively, brush-pen style script with a right-leaning, quick handwritten rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals, with occasional flicks and soft hooks that mimic pressure changes from a marker or brush. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with tall ascenders and deep, looping descenders that add vertical movement. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, giving the text a natural, written-in-one-pass feel while keeping word shapes clear.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as logos, product packaging, café or boutique branding, social posts, greeting cards, and casual invitations. It also works for pull quotes and headers when paired with a clean sans or simple serif for body copy.
The font reads warm and personable, with an upbeat, informal tone. Its buoyant curves and looping forms suggest spontaneity and charm, making it feel conversational and slightly whimsical rather than formal or restrained.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable font: expressive contrast, rounded curves, and playful loops combined with consistent spacing for straightforward typesetting in contemporary lifestyle contexts.
Capitals are decorative and prominent, often built from broad entry strokes and generous curves that stand out well in titles. Lowercase forms favor open counters and simplified joins, supporting readability at display sizes while retaining a distinctly hand-drawn character.
