A lively script with brush-pen character and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, moving from hairline entry strokes into fuller downstrokes, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered flicks. Letterforms are compact and tall, with tight internal counters, narrow proportions, and springy curves that create an energetic rhythm. Connections appear natural in text, and capitals feature more expressive loops and swashes while remaining consistent with the lowercase’s flowing construction.
Works best for short, expressive copy such as logos, labels, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, posters, and social media graphics. It can also suit pull quotes or section headers where a human, handwritten voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes or headings. Its bouncy rhythm and brushed texture convey warmth and spontaneity rather than formality, making it feel approachable and contemporary.
Likely designed to capture a quick brush-script feel with confident, connected strokes and expressive capitals, balancing legibility with an energetic handwritten gesture for display-oriented typography.
In running text, the contrasty stroke pattern and tight spacing give the line a dark, rhythmic texture, with the strongest emphasis on vertical downstrokes. Ascenders are prominent and looped in places, and some glyphs use simplified, handwritten structures that prioritize motion and gesture over strict uniformity.
