A lively brush-script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes show visible pen/brush texture and occasional rough edges, with tapered entry/exit strokes and looped joins that suggest fast, confident handwriting. Letterforms are compact with tall ascenders and descenders, narrow overall proportions, and irregular stroke widths that create a natural, drawn rhythm rather than rigid uniformity. Uppercase forms are more decorative and varied in structure, while lowercase maintains a flowing cursive line with frequent connections and soft, rounded terminals.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality is the priority: logos, product packaging, café or boutique signage, greeting cards, invitations, and promotional headlines. It also works nicely for quotes and social media graphics, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The font feels personable and energetic, with a casual charm that reads like handwritten lettering made with a flexible brush pen. Its bouncy rhythm and inky texture give it a crafty, boutique tone—approachable, slightly quirky, and intentionally imperfect.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering in a polished, reusable form, prioritizing expressiveness, movement, and handcrafted texture over strict regularity. The decorative capitals and flowing lowercase suggest an emphasis on headline impact and stylistic flair.
Contrast and texture are most noticeable at curves, loops, and stroke reversals, where the counters and joins become expressive focal points. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and subtle variation that matches the script’s organic movement.
