A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining rounded forms with tapered stroke ends and occasional heavier downstrokes. Lettershapes are upright-to-right-leaning with a bouncy baseline and varied entry/exit strokes that create an informal rhythm. Capitals are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms are compact with simple bowls and looped ascenders/descenders; counters are generally open for a breezy texture. Numerals match the hand-drawn character with soft curves and slightly uneven, organic proportions.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where an informal, personable voice is desired—such as posters, packaging callouts, café/menu headings, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also add a friendly accent to branding elements like logos or labels when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and energetic, like quick marker lettering used for notes, menus, or social posts. Its irregularities and brisk motion convey spontaneity and personality rather than formality.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush handwriting with an expressive, easygoing cadence. The aim appears to be a legible but characterful script that feels human and conversational in everyday display settings.
Connections between letters appear loose and context-dependent, giving words a semi-connected flow rather than a rigid continuous join. The set emphasizes smooth curves over sharp angles, and several characters feature distinctive terminal flicks that add momentum in text.
