A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, slightly tapered strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms lean forward and vary subtly in width, giving the line a natural, bouncy rhythm rather than strict consistency. Connections are intermittent—some letters link while others break—so the texture reads like quick, practiced handwriting with occasional loops and simplified joins. Capitals are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact with modest ascenders and descenders, keeping word shapes energetic and a bit irregular.
Well-suited for short-to-medium copy where a personal, friendly voice is desirable—such as lifestyle branding, packaging accents, social media graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes. It also works nicely for headings and subheads when paired with a simple sans for body text.
The overall tone is warm and personal, like a casual note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its playful sway and soft curves make it feel conversational and upbeat rather than formal or restrained.
Designed to capture the immediacy of modern brush handwriting in a clean, usable script that feels spontaneous but remains readable. The forward slant, rounded forms, and occasional connections aim to deliver an informal, personable signature-like texture for display and headline settings.
The font maintains a coherent stroke personality across letters, but preserves small variations in curvature and stroke endings that reinforce the hand-drawn character. At text sizes it reads smoothly, while at larger sizes the organic wobble and loop details become more prominent and expressive.
