A lively brush-script with a rightward slant and quick, tapered stroke endings. Letterforms mix smooth loops with occasional sharp turns, creating a rhythmic, handwritten flow that reads as confident and spontaneous. Strokes show clear pressure variation—thicker downstrokes and thinner upstrokes—while spacing stays compact and energetic, especially in joined lowercase. Capitals are simplified and slightly taller, acting like bold, gestural entry strokes rather than formal calligraphic forms.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, social posts, packaging callouts, posters, and invitations. It works especially well for headlines, quotes, and name-style wordmarks where the brushy rhythm can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like a handwritten note made with a brush pen. Its bouncy motion and informal shapes feel approachable and modern, with just enough flourish to add personality without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture the look of fast, natural brush lettering in a clean, repeatable font form. The intention appears to balance legibility with expressive stroke modulation, giving designers an informal script that feels personal and contemporary.
Uppercase characters tend to be more gestural and open, while lowercase forms carry most of the connectivity and looping detail. Descenders (such as in g, j, y) add decorative movement, and numerals share the same brisk, hand-drawn energy with rounded, slightly irregular curves.
