A lively brush-pen script with a right-leaning slant, high stroke modulation, and slightly compressed proportions. Letterforms show tapered entries/exits, rounded bowls, and frequent looped joins, with subtle texture that mimics dry-brush pressure changes. The rhythm is energetic and bouncy, mixing smooth connecting strokes with occasional discrete capitals and pronounced swashes on select forms. Counters stay open and the overall silhouette alternates between thick downstrokes and hairline connectors for a dynamic, handwritten look.
Best used for short to medium lines where its expressive stroke contrast and cursive flow can be appreciated—such as headlines, brand marks, social graphics, invitations, packaging callouts, and quote treatments. It can also work for subheads or accents paired with a simple sans or serif for body text.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, with an informal, handcrafted tone. Its brushy contrast and springy movement give it a modern crafty feel suited to warm, approachable messaging rather than formal or technical content.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush lettering with a friendly, contemporary feel. The intent appears to balance legibility with personality through clean cursive connections, lively terminals, and high-contrast strokes that create strong visual emphasis.
Capitals are more gestural and display-like, often featuring larger strokes and looser structure than the lowercase, which keeps a consistent cursive flow. Descenders and ascenders are long and curving, and some letters finish with extended terminals that add flair in short phrases.
