A slanted, rounded sans with a brush-like construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are smooth and slightly tapered, with softened terminals and compact, rhythmic curves that keep counters open even at heavier strokes. The letterforms show a lively handwritten flow, with occasional looped entries and rounded joins that give the alphabet a cohesive, energetic texture. Figures follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with curvy forms and softened endpoints that match the letters.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its contrast and slanted rhythm can be appreciated—logos, headlines, packaging, posters, and promotional graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a friendly, handcrafted emphasis without going fully script.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, combining a retro sign-painting feel with an approachable, informal voice. Its animated curves and soft terminals read as welcoming and expressive rather than strict or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, readable take on brush-influenced, italic display lettering—prioritizing warmth, momentum, and visual punch while maintaining clean, rounded sans structures.
The design favors motion and gesture: diagonals feel springy, bowls are full and rounded, and many characters lean into a subtle bounce that adds charm in headlines. The contrast and tapering introduce sparkle in larger sizes, while the rounded finishing keeps the texture from feeling sharp or severe.
