A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from rounded strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms lean consistently forward and show loose, organic rhythm with slight irregularities in width and joining, giving the text a natural, written-on-the-fly cadence. Capitals are simplified and gestural rather than formal, while the lowercase features frequent loops and open counters that keep the texture airy despite the bold, inky presence.
Well-suited for short to medium display settings where a personable voice is needed—logos, product packaging, invitations, posters, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headers when paired with a calmer sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is warm and informal, evoking quick notes, café chalkboards, and upbeat personal messaging. Its bouncy motion and soft curves read as cheerful and conversational rather than polished or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the feel of casual brush lettering: energetic, readable at display sizes, and expressive without excessive ornament. The letterforms prioritize warmth and spontaneity, aiming for an authentic handwritten presence in contemporary layouts.
Stroke endings often finish with subtle flicks, and several letters show partial connections that suggest fast handwriting without enforcing strict continuous joining. Numerals match the same brushy energy, with rounded forms and slightly varied proportions for a handmade look.
