A lively handwritten script with a right-leaning, brush-pen feel and subtly textured stroke edges. Letterforms are tall and compact, with tight sidebearings and a rhythmic, bouncy baseline that adds motion. Strokes show natural pressure changes—slightly thicker downstrokes and lighter upstrokes—while joins are mostly continuous in lowercase, creating a flowing word shape. Ascenders are prominent and looped in several letters, and terminals tend to taper or flick, contributing to a quick, spontaneous finish.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a personal, handmade voice is desired—logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics. It also performs well for quote headers and playful headlines, while long paragraphs may feel busy due to the tight spacing and high cursive connectivity.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like a confident personal note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its energetic slant and looping joins give it an expressive, upbeat character that feels approachable rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to mimic fast, natural cursive writing with a brush-pen rhythm, balancing legibility with expressive loops and tapered terminals. The compact proportions and lively stroke behavior suggest an intention to deliver an informal, human touch for contemporary display typography.
Uppercase letters read as simplified handwritten caps that pair naturally with the connected lowercase, helping maintain a cohesive texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with rounded shapes and slightly irregular curves, keeping the set consistent in casual display use.
