A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, mixing loosely connected cursive forms with occasional print-like shapes. Strokes show noticeable contrast and tapered terminals, with slightly uneven edges and a natural, hand-drawn rhythm. Letters are generally compact with a modest slant and irregular widths, giving the line a bouncy texture. Ascenders and descenders are prominent relative to the small lowercase body, and counters tend to be tight, especially in rounded letters.
Works well for short, personality-forward text such as greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, packaging accents, and poster headlines. It’s best used at display sizes where the brush texture, tapering, and lively irregularity remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like quick notes made with a flexible marker. Its energetic motion and imperfect details read as personal and approachable rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of casual brush handwriting while staying consistent enough for repeatable typesetting. The intent appears to emphasize warmth, motion, and a handcrafted look for expressive branding and editorial accents.
Uppercase letters behave like expressive initials, while lowercase maintains a steady handwritten cadence; this mixed behavior adds charm but increases texture in dense settings. Numerals match the same brushy construction, with rounded forms and soft joins that keep the set cohesive.
