A brisk, slanted script with a brush-pen feel and clean, tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and a smooth, continuous rhythm, with many letters joining naturally while still keeping occasional breaks for clarity. The lowercase sits low with compact proportions and tall ascenders/descenders, giving words a bouncy vertical profile. Caps are simplified and open, built from quick, confident gestures rather than formal calligraphic constructions.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a friendly handwritten voice is needed—logos, product packaging, café menus, social posts, quotes, and event materials. It also works as an accent face paired with a neutral sans for headings, callouts, and signatures.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick handwritten notes or casual signage. Its energetic slant and looping forms add warmth and momentum, leaning contemporary rather than vintage or formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural handwriting with a brushy, contemporary script rhythm. The intent appears to balance expressiveness with legibility, using simplified capitals and consistent stroke behavior to keep text readable while still feeling personal.
The numerals follow the same fast handwritten logic, with angled strokes and simple forms that match the script texture. Letterforms favor rounded turns and soft curves, producing an even, inked-line color across words without looking rigid or overly polished.
