A brush-script style with a forward slant, compact proportions, and lively, looping forms. Strokes read as marker/brush-like: rounded terminals, occasional swelling on curves, and tapered joins that suggest quick pen movement. Letterforms are moderately connected in running text, with smooth entry/exit strokes and a rhythmic baseline bounce. Uppercase characters are tall and prominent, while lowercase forms are smaller with short ascenders/descenders and simplified counters that keep the texture dense and energetic.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as logos, product packaging, café menus, headers, posters, and social media graphics. It works best at display sizes where the brushy joins and loops remain clear, and as an accent face alongside a simpler text font.
The tone feels informal and personable, like quick handwritten signage or a friendly note. Its springy curves and bold, inky presence give it an upbeat, expressive character that leans fun rather than formal.
Designed to capture a bold, fast handwritten look with smooth cursive flow and high visual energy. The emphasis appears to be on personality and momentum—creating a distinctive, human touch for display typography rather than strict uniformity.
The font’s texture is intentionally irregular in a natural way—stroke thickness and spacing vary slightly from glyph to glyph, enhancing the hand-drawn feel. Numerals follow the same script logic with rounded shapes and flowing diagonals, pairing well with the letterforms in casual settings.
