A lively, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and rounded, swelling strokes that taper at turns and terminals. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in proportion, with a bouncy baseline and simplified joins that suggest quick, confident handwriting rather than formal calligraphy. Counters are relatively open for a script, and many lowercase forms show looped ascenders/descenders and smooth, continuous curves. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with simple, flowing shapes and soft terminals.
Works well for short-to-medium display settings where a human, conversational feel is desired—logos, product labels, café/restaurant menus, invitations, social graphics, and headline treatments. It can also suit pull quotes or emphasis lines when paired with a neutral sans for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like a quick note written with a felt-tip or brush marker. Its motion and irregularities add warmth and spontaneity, giving text an informal, approachable voice that still feels intentional and cohesive.
Designed to emulate fast, natural brush handwriting while keeping letterforms repeatable and legible in words. The aim appears to balance expressiveness and clarity, offering a script that feels personal and contemporary without heavy ornamentation.
Stroke endings often finish in short flicks, and several letters feature partial connections and implied ligatures, helping words read as a continuous gesture. The capitals are simplified and slightly more standalone, providing clear word starts without becoming overly ornamental.
