A loose, brush-pen script with a consistent slant and lively, variable letter widths. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle pressure modulation, ending in tapered terminals and occasional flicks. Letterforms favor open counters and rounded joins, with simplified, handwritten construction rather than rigid calligraphic forms. Uppercase shapes are taller and more gestural, while lowercase stays compact with relatively small bowls and short extenders, producing a light, quick rhythm across words.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a human, friendly voice is desired—such as logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It can also suit quote graphics and headings, where its lively slant and brushy terminals can add warmth and motion.
The font reads as informal and personable, like quick note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its buoyant curves and occasional flourishes add a playful, upbeat tone without feeling overly decorative. The overall impression is relaxed and conversational.
Designed to capture the speed and expressiveness of casual handwriting in a clean, repeatable digital form. The aim appears to be an easygoing script that feels authentic and hand-drawn while remaining legible for display text.
Spacing and rhythm feel naturally handwritten, with slightly uneven widths and a flowing baseline that suggests real pen movement. Numerals match the script character, staying simple and lightly curved to blend with text. Some characters use minimal connections, creating a semi-joined flow that maintains readability while preserving a spontaneous look.
