A lively brush-script with a forward slant and visibly hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thin hairlines and fuller downstrokes, with tapered entries and exits that often end in soft flicks. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact counters and a notably small x-height relative to the long ascenders and descenders. Connections are suggested by continuous stroke flow, but many letters remain loosely joined, keeping word shapes airy and dynamic.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters: headlines, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle branding. It works well for packaging, café menus, and social graphics where a handmade, friendly script adds warmth. For readability, it’s most effective at display sizes rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is personable and upbeat, like quick marker or brush lettering used for notes, labels, and informal headlines. Its energetic stroke endings and bouncy spacing give it a spontaneous, conversational feel rather than a polished calligraphic formality. The texture reads handmade and approachable, with a touch of whimsy in the loops and hooks.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual brush handwriting while maintaining a consistent slanted structure across the alphabet. The strong stroke modulation and tall proportions aim to create lively word silhouettes that feel human and expressive in branding and display settings.
Caps are assertive and slightly varied in construction, with some simplified, sign-like forms that emphasize speed and gesture. Lowercase forms rely on looped ascenders (notably in b, d, f, h, l) and open, single-storey shapes, while numerals keep the same brushy modulation and rounded terminals for consistency. The overall color on the page is uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing the drawn-with-a-brush impression.
