A lively, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and a distinctly slanted, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and finer upstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional blob-like ends where the pen appears to lift. Letterforms are narrow and vertically stretched, with rounded counters and looped constructions in several lowercase shapes; joins are generally flowing in words, while individual glyphs retain a slightly varied, hand-drawn consistency. Capitals are simple and upright in structure but remain informal, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase; numerals follow the same gestural, pen-written logic.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—such as product labels, café menus, greeting cards, event invites, and headline treatments. It also works for pull quotes and social graphics where the brushy contrast and narrow forms can create a compact, expressive line.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick marker or brush lettering used for notes, packaging, and social captions. Its bouncy movement and visible stroke modulation give it an expressive, human presence rather than a polished calligraphic formality.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with strong stroke contrast and a narrow, vertical footprint. The intent appears to prioritize personality and momentum—capturing the spontaneity of hand lettering while remaining cohesive across the alphabet and numerals.
Extenders are prominent, with tall ascenders and deeper descenders that add vertical motion. Spacing and letter widths feel naturally uneven in an intentional way, reinforcing the handwritten character while keeping the texture energetic and conversational in longer lines.
