A lively, brush-pen script with a right-leaning slant and quick, tapered terminals. Strokes show subtle texture and pressure variation, creating a slightly sketchy, hand-inked edge rather than a perfectly smooth outline. Letterforms are compact and tall in feel, with rounded bowls, open counters, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a flowing rhythm. Uppercase characters are simplified and expressive, and the numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and brisk diagonals.
Well-suited to short headlines, brand accents, packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics where a personal touch is desired. It works best when given room to breathe and can be paired with a clean sans for supporting text to keep layouts clear.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its energetic rhythm and slightly imperfect texture add warmth and spontaneity, making text feel conversational rather than formal.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident brush handwriting with a friendly, contemporary flavor. The goal appears to be an expressive script that reads clearly in short phrases while retaining natural variation and a handmade texture.
Connections appear common in lowercase, but the joins are not rigidly uniform, which reinforces an organic, written-on-the-fly character. The texture is most noticeable on heavier downstrokes and curved segments, adding visual interest at display sizes.
