A slanted, brush-pen script with rounded terminals and subtly tapered strokes. Letterforms are built from continuous, flowing movements, with open counters and a lively baseline that gives the text a bouncy rhythm. Uppercase forms are larger and more gestural, while lowercase stays compact with tall ascenders and tight bowls; spacing is slightly irregular in a natural handwritten way. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with simple, looped constructions and soft curves that keep color even in text.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as branding accents, packaging callouts, social media graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and upbeat headlines. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when given generous size and spacing, and is best avoided for long-form paragraphs where a calmer texture is needed.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick but confident handwriting made with a flexible marker or brush. Its motion and soft curves read as warm and approachable, with enough energy to feel expressive without becoming chaotic.
Designed to capture the look of fast, fluent brush handwriting: energetic, readable, and naturally variable in rhythm. The goal appears to be an expressive script that adds a human, informal voice to contemporary layouts while maintaining consistent letter-shapes for reliable repetition.
Stroke joins are smooth and continuous, with frequent entry/exit swashes that encourage a connected feel across words. The silhouette stays clean at display sizes, while the compact lowercase and animated slant can make dense setting feel busy if overused.
