A lively brush-pen script with a rightward slant and visibly pressure-driven strokes. Letterforms show tapered starts and finishes, subtle swelling through curves, and slightly rough edges that suggest dry-brush texture. Proportions are compact with tight sidebearings and a bouncy baseline rhythm; widths vary notably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-drawn cadence. Connections are intermittent—some letters flow together while others stand apart—creating an informal, note-like texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters: headlines, pull quotes, social graphics, packaging callouts, and event materials such as invitations or greeting cards. It reads most confidently at display sizes, where the textured stroke edges and rhythmic variability become a feature rather than a distraction.
The tone is upbeat and conversational, like quick marker lettering for headings or personal messages. Its energetic rhythm and imperfect edges add warmth and spontaneity, leaning more expressive than formal.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident brush handwriting with a natural, human cadence. The goal appears to be an approachable display script that feels handcrafted and energetic while remaining coherent across mixed-case text and numerals.
Uppercase forms are tall and gestural with simplified, brushy terminals, while lowercase characters favor quick, looped constructions and open counters for an airy feel. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with angled stress and soft, rounded turns, keeping the set visually consistent across alphanumerics.
