A lively brush-script with a rightward slant, built from rounded strokes and tapered terminals that mimic pressure changes from a marker or brush pen. Letterforms lean on simple, open counters and soft curves, with a slightly bouncy baseline and uneven stroke endings that add hand-made texture. Capitals are tall and loopless rather than ornate, while lowercase forms stay compact with a modest x-height and smooth, single-storey structures; joins appear intermittent, giving it a semi-connected writing rhythm. Numerals share the same casual, handwritten construction with bulbous curves and occasional flicked terminals.
Well-suited for short, prominent text such as logos, product labels, café or boutique branding, invitations, posters, and social media graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs best in headings and pull quotes, and can work for brief passages when set with comfortable size and line spacing.
The overall tone feels upbeat and personable, like quick, confident hand lettering for everyday communication. Its energetic rhythm and soft, rounded forms read as approachable and creative rather than formal or reserved.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered brush writing with a controlled, repeatable set of forms. The goal appears to be an expressive, contemporary script that balances casual authenticity with enough consistency to typeset smoothly across mixed-case text and numerals.
The design shows intentional irregularity in stroke edges and terminal shapes, which enhances authenticity at display sizes but can create a more textured color in longer text. The slant and tall ascenders give lines a forward motion, while generous interior spaces help maintain clarity despite the brushy weight changes.
