A lively handwritten script with a rightward slant and brush-pen character. Strokes show subtle pressure shifts and tapered terminals, with occasional heavier downstrokes that give the letterforms a painted rhythm. Proportions feel tall and compact, with narrow overall set width, a modest x-height, and ascenders that stand out in the texture. The baseline is generally steady but not rigid, and spacing is uneven in an intentional, hand-drawn way; connections appear in the sample text while some joins remain loose and open for legibility.
Works best for short to medium text in brand marks, product labels, café/restaurant menus, invitations, posters, and social graphics where a personable voice is desired. It can also serve as a secondary accent font paired with a clean sans for captions and supporting information.
The tone is warm and informal, like quick marker lettering for packaging or a personal note. Its bouncy rhythm and looping forms read as approachable and energetic rather than formal or calligraphically strict. The overall impression is modern, crafty, and conversational.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush writing while keeping forms clear enough for practical display use. The slightly irregular spacing, tapered ends, and energetic slant prioritize personality and motion over typographic rigidity.
Uppercase letters behave like expressive display initials, with simplified structures and occasional flourished strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same brushed construction, maintaining the casual, handwritten consistency across the set.
