A lively handwritten script with a rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are smooth and mostly monoline, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered joins that mimic quick marker movement. Letterforms are compact and narrow with a bouncy baseline and variable character widths, giving lines an informal rhythm. Capitals are tall and gestural with simple, open structures, while lowercase forms stay small and tight with looped ascenders and clean, readable counters; numerals follow the same fluid, handwritten construction.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a human voice is desired, such as brand accents, packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads on posters or digital banners, where its motion and compact proportions can add energy without becoming overly decorative.
The font reads as personable and spontaneous—like fast, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its upbeat motion and soft curves create an approachable tone that feels contemporary rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the immediacy of everyday handwriting in a polished, repeatable form—balancing casual charm with consistent letter construction for practical use in display and accent typography.
Spacing appears intentionally loose enough to prevent collisions despite the slant and occasional loops, which helps maintain clarity in mixed-case text. The overall texture stays even across the alphabet and figures, keeping paragraphs legible while retaining a distinctly hand-drawn character.
