A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, fast strokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms lean forward and mix rounded loops with occasional sharp joins, creating a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show noticeable swelling and thinning through curves and entries, while counters stay fairly open for a script. Capitals are tall and expressive with simplified, hand-drawn structure, and the numerals follow the same informal, flowing construction for a consistent texture across settings.
Best suited for short to medium-length display use where a handmade voice is desired—headlines, packaging callouts, social posts, and branding accents. It can also work for cards and casual invitations, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick but confident handwriting. Its looping forms and energetic movement give it a playful, approachable character that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to capture an informal brush-script handwriting look with expressive capitals and a smooth, flowing cadence. The intent appears to be an easygoing, contemporary script that adds personality without becoming overly ornate.
Texture is intentionally irregular in places, with natural stroke starts and finishes that read as pen pressure rather than geometric construction. Some letters show partial joining tendencies, making it feel cohesive in words even when connections are not perfectly continuous.
