A brisk, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, mixing connected lowercase forms with more standalone, sketch-like capitals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, with frequent entry/exit swashes that create a rhythmic forward motion. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with tight spacing tendencies and occasional flourished strokes on ascenders and descenders. The overall texture is lively and slightly irregular, maintaining consistent gesture while preserving a natural, hand-drawn spontaneity.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a personal voice is desired: logos, packaging accents, café or boutique signage, invitations, and promotional headlines. It can also work for pull quotes and social media graphics, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The tone is upbeat and personable, like quick signage or a handwritten note made with a confident marker. Its energetic curves and looping joins read as approachable and informal, with enough flourish to feel expressive without becoming ornate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of cursive handwriting made with a flexible brush or marker, balancing legibility with expressive stroke contrast and casual flourish. The intent appears to be a personable, contemporary script that adds character and motion to display typography.
Capitals lean toward simplified, signature-like shapes that pair with a more consistently joined lowercase. Round characters (o, e, g) emphasize open counters and soft curves, while letters like f, j, y introduce longer, more calligraphic descenders that add animation to lines of text. Numerals keep the same hand-rendered logic, with simple construction and tapered ends.
