A lively handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show clear pressure-based modulation, with tapered entries and exits and occasional thicker downstrokes, giving an organic rhythm. Letterforms are compact and quick, with simplified joins and open counters that keep the texture airy despite the narrow footprint. Capitals are larger and more gestural, mixing long curves and swift cross-strokes, while numerals follow the same fluid, handwritten logic.
Works well for short to medium display copy where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—logos, packaging callouts, café/food branding, invitations, posters, and social graphics. It is best used at larger sizes where the brushy terminals and narrow forms can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like a fast signature or a note written with a felt-tip brush pen. It feels personal and approachable, with enough movement and bounce to read as energetic rather than formal or polished.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of quick cursive written with a brush pen—compact, slanted, and expressive—while remaining consistent enough for repeated use in headlines and branding.
Spacing and stroke endings feel intentionally imperfect in a natural way, reinforcing the hand-made character. The set maintains consistent slant and stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together in longer lines while still looking spontaneous.
