A lively, brush-pen script with a forward slant and clear stroke modulation. Letterforms show rounded terminals, occasional teardrop-like joins, and gently irregular curves that mimic natural hand pressure. Strokes alternate between fuller downstrokes and finer connecting strokes, creating a rhythmic, slightly bouncy baseline. Shapes are compact with tight spacing tendencies, and forms remain consistent while preserving an organic, handwritten looseness.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, packaging labels, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics. It can also work for headlines and subheads when paired with a quieter sans or serif for body text.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like quick yet confident handwriting on a note or label. Its brushy contrast and looping forms add warmth and a hint of spontaneity, making text feel conversational rather than formal.
Designed to capture the look of modern brush lettering in a clean, repeatable digital form, balancing expressive stroke contrast with enough regularity to remain readable in common display sizes.
Capitals are expressive and slightly taller, often featuring simple entry strokes and soft loops that read clearly without becoming overly ornate. Numerals match the script energy with rounded, handwritten construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed alphanumeric settings.
