A lively, handwritten cursive with a brush-pen feel and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. Letterforms are strongly slanted with rounded terminals, soft joins, and frequent looped entry/exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall, with a petite lowercase presence and relatively prominent capitals, producing a brisk, narrow line of text. Numerals and uppercase share the same informal, drawn-by-hand construction, keeping the overall texture cohesive and conversational.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where an informal, personal voice is desirable—such as boutique logos, packaging callouts, posters, event invitations, and social media graphics. It can also suit headings or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with an upbeat, personal tone reminiscent of quick marker lettering. Its springy curves and looping strokes give it a playful confidence suited to informal messages and friendly branding.
Designed to emulate fast, natural handwriting with a brush pen: energetic strokes, rounded shapes, and a fluid forward slant that prioritizes personality and momentum over formal precision.
Caps are expressive and slightly embellished compared to the lowercase, which stays simple and quick, creating a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. The stroke endings appear gently tapered rather than sharply cut, helping long words feel smooth and continuous even when letters are not strictly connected throughout.
