A lively brush-script with a right-leaning, handwritten rhythm and visibly pressure-driven contrast. Strokes alternate between thick swells and thin hairlines, with occasional dry-brush texture and tapering terminals that feel lifted from a real pen or brush. Letterforms are narrow and compact with a bouncy baseline, and connections are frequent but not strictly continuous, creating a natural, slightly irregular flow. Ascenders are tall and prominent while the x-height reads modest, giving the lowercase a more delicate mid-zone and emphasizing loops and entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display copy where a handmade voice is desired—brand marks, packaging callouts, café or boutique signage, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It works especially well at larger sizes where the stroke contrast and brush texture can be appreciated.
The font conveys an upbeat, personable tone—like quick signage or a confident note written with a brush pen. Its energetic slant, looping forms, and varied stroke widths feel spontaneous and human, landing more expressive than formal and more charming than polished.
Designed to mimic quick, natural brush handwriting with expressive contrast and an easy, conversational cadence. The goal appears to be a legible yet characterful script that brings warmth and motion to display text without looking overly formal.
Uppercase forms keep a script-like simplicity with occasional flourish, while the lowercase shows the strongest personality through looped descenders (g, y, z) and rounded counters. Numerals follow the same brush logic with softened corners and uneven stroke modulation, matching the informal texture of the letters.
