A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, tapered strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning with quick curves, occasional looped ascenders/descenders, and a noticeably springy baseline rhythm. Connectivity is implied by flowing entry/exit strokes, while spacing and widths remain naturally irregular, giving the alphabet a drawn-by-hand cadence. Numerals and capitals follow the same gestural logic, mixing simple forms with a few more decorative loops and swashes.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, invitations, posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headers when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, like neat marker lettering used for notes, packaging, or social captions. Its brisk rhythm and soft curves read upbeat and approachable, with enough flourish to feel expressive without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture fast, confident brush handwriting in a consistent, font-ready system—balancing legibility with expressive stroke movement and a lightly flourish-driven personality for everyday display use.
Capitals tend to be taller and more display-like, with occasional extended curves that create a bit of headline sparkle. In text settings, the compact lowercase and narrow forms create a dense line color that works best when given a touch of tracking and comfortable line spacing.
