A slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, continuous strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms show gentle stroke modulation and a rhythmic, right-leaning movement, with tall ascenders and deep descenders that give the line a vertical, airy profile. Connections are suggested by the flowing construction, while spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn cadence. Uppercase characters are larger and more gestural, often using open curves and long entry/exit strokes that read well in short phrases.
Best suited for branding accents, product packaging, invitations, pull quotes, and short headlines where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs well at display sizes and in short-to-medium text snippets; for multi-line compositions, slightly increased leading helps accommodate the tall extenders and maintain clarity.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick marker lettering for notes, packaging, or social content. Its flowing forms and soft curves feel upbeat and approachable, with a slightly energetic, spontaneous character rather than a polished calligraphic formality.
Designed to capture an easy, contemporary handwritten look with the speed and fluidity of a brush pen, emphasizing natural variation and a smooth, connected writing rhythm for expressive display typography.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same brush-like stroke behavior as the lowercase, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The compact lowercase proportions make ascenders/descenders more prominent, so line spacing benefits from a bit of extra leading in multi-line settings.
