A lively brush-pen script with a right-leaning stance and energetic, pressure-driven stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with rounded terminals, occasional tapered entries/exits, and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Capitals are simplified and open, while lowercase forms favor soft loops and compact counters, creating a dense, handwritten texture. Numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing rounded bowls with quick, tapered strokes for a cohesive set.
Well-suited for short, expressive copy such as brand marks, product labels, café menus, invitations, and social graphics. It works best at display sizes where the brush contrast and loops can breathe, and where a casual handwritten tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick marker lettering on packaging or a personal note. Its animated curves and high-contrast strokes give it a cheerful, expressive presence that feels crafted rather than mechanical.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering with an easygoing cadence. The intent appears to balance legibility with personality, offering a script that feels spontaneous and human while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Stroke contrast is most noticeable on verticals and downstrokes, with lighter, hairline-like joins and cross strokes that add sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a deliberate way, reinforcing a hand-drawn feel while maintaining readable word shapes.
