A fluid, brush-pen style script with a rightward slant, crisp high-contrast stroke modulation, and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and vertical in footprint, with lively baseline bounce and slightly variable stroke rhythm that preserves a hand-drawn feel. Curves are smooth and rounded, counters are open, and ascenders/descenders are prominent, giving the lowercase a tall, airy profile relative to the x-height. Capitals are simplified and gestural, pairing well with the more continuous, looping lowercase.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, packaging labels, invitations and greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headlines, especially when generous spacing and line height are used to let the tall ascenders and loops breathe.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick but confident handwriting done with a flexible marker or brush pen. Its energetic movement and occasional irregularities add warmth and spontaneity, making it feel approachable rather than formal.
Designed to emulate modern brush handwriting with a clean, high-contrast stroke and quick, continuous motion. The intent appears to balance legibility with expressive, personal character for upbeat display typography.
Connections between lowercase letters appear natural in text settings, while individual glyphs still read clearly when set as separate characters. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm with simple forms and rounded turns, keeping the set consistent for casual display uses.
