A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining tall, slender capitals with compact lowercase forms. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, with thicker downstrokes and fine hairline exits that create tapered terminals and occasional pointed joins. Letterforms lean mostly upright with a bouncy baseline rhythm, and spacing varies naturally, giving words an uneven, human cadence rather than strict typographic regularity. Capitals are especially elongated and gestural, while lowercase shapes stay small and quick, keeping textures light even in longer lines.
Works well for short to medium headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, invitations, and social media graphics where a personal, handwritten note feeling is desired. It’s also effective for pull quotes and product labels, especially when paired with a neutral sans or serif for supporting copy.
The font reads as informal and personable, with an energetic, crafty tone. Its quick stroke changes and slightly irregular rhythm suggest spontaneity and a hand-done authenticity suited to upbeat, conversational messaging.
Designed to emulate quick brush handwriting that feels friendly and contemporary, prioritizing expressive stroke contrast and an organic rhythm over rigid uniformity. The tall, gestural capitals and compact lowercase aim to deliver strong personality in display settings while remaining legible in short phrases.
In running text, the mix of tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase creates strong vertical sparkle, while the narrow silhouettes keep word shapes tidy. The numeral set follows the same hand-drawn logic, with simple, flowing forms and occasional looped strokes that match the script character.
