A lively, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and rounded, softly tapered terminals. Strokes stay largely monoline in feel, with gentle swelling at turns that suggests a marker or brush tip rather than a pointed pen. Letterforms are compact and slightly bouncy, with smooth curves, simplified joins, and occasional entry/exit strokes that keep words flowing without becoming overly ornate. Counters are open and shapes favor rounded construction, giving the alphabet an approachable, handwritten regularity.
Well-suited to short, expressive text where personality matters—such as logos, boutique branding, product packaging, posters, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes. It works especially well at display sizes where its brushy texture and bouncy rhythm can read clearly.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick but confident handwriting. Its rhythm feels upbeat and personable, projecting an easygoing, everyday friendliness rather than formal elegance.
Designed to deliver an informal, handwritten voice with the convenience and consistency of a typeface. The shapes emphasize speed, warmth, and legibility over calligraphic complexity, aiming for an approachable script that feels natural in modern casual design.
Uppercase forms are clean and upright-leaning with restrained flourish, while the lowercase carries most of the motion through curved shoulders and loop-like strokes (notably in letters such as g, y, and j). Numerals echo the same casual, rounded construction, keeping the set visually cohesive.
