A slanted handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining rounded forms and tapered stroke endings. Strokes show moderate thick–thin variation and a slightly textured, drawn quality rather than mechanical smoothness. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with irregular widths and lively baseline movement that reinforces the hand-made rhythm. Connections appear in many lowercase letters, while others break naturally, keeping the flow informal; capitals are more standalone and gestural.
Works well for short, expressive text such as logos, product packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social media graphics where a personal voice is desired. It can also serve as a secondary accent in editorial or web layouts, pairing best with a clean sans or simple serif for body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick signage or a confident note written with a marker. Its energetic slant and soft curves read as friendly and contemporary, with an intentionally imperfect rhythm that feels spontaneous rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with an easy, conversational flow. The emphasis is on personality and motion—capturing the feel of real handwriting while staying consistent enough for repeatable, branded applications.
Counters are relatively small and the joins can get dark in places, especially in lowercase loops, which increases color and texture in text. Numerals are similarly handwritten and rounded, matching the script’s casual movement and making the set feel cohesive across display and short-copy use.
