A brisk, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen construction. Strokes feel mostly even with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals taper into soft points or rounded ends, reinforcing a drawn, gestural texture. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with open counters and simplified joins that keep the rhythm quick and readable. Capitals are looped and showy without becoming overly ornate, while the lowercase stays streamlined, with tall ascenders and a relatively small mid-zone that emphasizes the italic flow.
Best suited for short to medium text where a handmade signature-like character is desired—logos, packaging accents, café menus, pull quotes, invitations, and social posts. It reads clearly at display sizes and works well as a contrasting script against restrained sans or serif companions.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick lettering made with a felt tip or brush pen. Its energetic curves and smooth swing give it a friendly, conversational voice suited to upbeat, human-forward messaging.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable font, balancing expressive curves with enough consistency for practical display use. The goal appears to be a modern, friendly script that feels authentic without relying on heavy ornament or exaggerated swashes.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way that supports the hand-rendered feel, and the set mixes connected-script behavior with occasional breaks that prevent dense tangles. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, using simple shapes and tapered strokes to match the alphabet.
