A brisk, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and brush-pen stroke behavior. Forms are compact and relatively narrow, with lively variation in stroke thickness at turns and terminals that suggests pressure changes rather than strict construction. Capitals are tall and loop-forward, while lowercase letters keep a small body size with long ascenders and descenders, creating a high, dancing rhythm across a line. Terminals are tapered and slightly roughened, and spacing feels naturally irregular, as if written quickly but deliberately.
Well-suited to short display settings where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—quotes, greeting cards, invitations, social posts, and boutique packaging. It can also work for headlines or callouts on posters and editorial feature pages, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is informal and conversational, like a neat note written with a felt-tip or brush marker. Its energetic slant and bouncy rhythm give it a friendly, upbeat character that reads as approachable rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable font, balancing legibility with the spontaneity of real pen movement. The narrow, upright-to-slanted letterforms and tall extenders aim to keep lines energetic and space-efficient while maintaining a distinctly human cadence.
Many letters show subtle entry/exit strokes that encourage a flowing line, but connections appear selective rather than strictly continuous across every pair. Numerals match the handwritten feel, with simple, rounded constructions and the same tapered endings, helping mixed text stay cohesive.
