A brisk, slanted script with a brush-pen feel and smooth, continuous stroke flow. Letterforms lean forward with rounded joins, occasional looped entries/exits, and a slightly bouncy baseline that gives the texture movement. Stroke endings taper subtly, counters stay fairly open, and the overall rhythm alternates between compact connections and wider, sweeping capitals for emphasis. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same handwritten cadence, with simplified shapes and soft curves that prioritize flow over rigid geometry.
Works well for short to medium text where personality is the priority: logos, boutique branding, social graphics, posters, and packaging callouts. It’s especially effective for names, headings, and signature-style lines where the larger, sweeping capitals can shine; for longer passages, it will read best at comfortable sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is informal and personable, like a quick confident signature or a note written with a felt-tip pen. Its forward motion and looping gestures read as upbeat and expressive, lending a conversational, friendly character rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast cursive handwriting with a brush-like tool—fluid, legible, and expressive—while keeping forms consistent enough for repeated use in display settings.
Capitals are notably more flamboyant, using extended swashes and larger oval forms that stand out in headlines. Spacing feels naturally uneven in a handwritten way, with some letters linking tightly while others leave small breathing gaps, contributing to an authentic, human rhythm.
