A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing rounded terminals, soft joins, and a gentle rightward slant. Strokes read as relatively heavy with subtle thick–thin modulation and occasional tapered entries/exits, creating an organic rhythm. Letterforms are compact and slightly bouncy, with tall ascenders/descenders and small counters that lend a punchy, informal texture. Capitals introduce more flourish and looped gestures, while the lowercase stays simple and legible with intermittent connections rather than strict continuous linking.
Well suited to short display copy where personality matters—logos, product labels, café menus, quotes, greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes paired with a clean sans or simple serif for body text.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, packaging, or personal messages. Its energetic, slightly imperfect flow communicates friendliness and spontaneity rather than formality or restraint.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual brush handwriting while keeping a consistent, repeatable set of forms for display typography. The emphasis appears to be on charm and expressiveness, with decorative capitals providing extra flair for initials and headlines.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded shapes and mild irregularities that reinforce the handmade character. Larger sizes showcase the brush texture and curves best, while tighter settings may benefit from extra tracking to keep counters and joins from feeling crowded.
