A brush-pen style script with rounded terminals, smooth joins, and a forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes show natural modulation and pressure-like thick–thin behavior, with soft curves and occasional tapered entries and exits. Letterforms are compact with relatively tall ascenders/descenders, and spacing feels lively and slightly irregular in a hand-written way, while remaining consistently shaped across the set. The numerals match the script energy, with simplified forms and curved, ink-like endings.
Works best for display sizes where the flowing strokes and looping forms can be appreciated—such as logos, café or boutique branding, product packaging, posters, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also suit short pull quotes or section headers when you want a casual handwritten emphasis.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, like quick confident marker lettering. It reads as personal and conversational rather than formal, bringing an easygoing, handcrafted charm to headlines and short messages.
Designed to mimic energetic everyday handwriting with a brush-pen character, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The consistent slant, rounded forms, and looping descenders aim to deliver a friendly scripted voice suitable for modern, informal design.
Capitals have a simplified, gestural construction that blends well into mixed-case settings, and several shapes use prominent loops (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z). The texture is smooth and clean rather than scratchy, suggesting a controlled brush or felt-tip feel.
