A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining connected lowercase with more standalone, gestural capitals. Strokes show visible texture and ragged edges, suggesting dry-brush or marker drag, with occasional ink pooling and tapered terminals. Letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline and uneven rhythm, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the improvised, hand-drawn character. Counters are generally open and simplified, and joins in the lowercase are loose rather than calligraphically formal.
Best used for short to medium display text where its texture and movement can be appreciated—logos, packaging callouts, poster headlines, café menus, and social graphics. It can also work for quotes or subheads when paired with a calmer sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with an energetic, slightly rough edge that reads as human and spontaneous. Its textured strokes and jaunty slant give it a crafty, indie feel—more personable than polished—making it suited to designs that want warmth and motion.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of handwritten brush lettering—quick, expressive, and slightly gritty—while remaining consistent enough for repeated use across branding and display contexts.
Capitals are tall and attention-grabbing, often with flourished entry strokes, while numerals and lowercase maintain the same textured brush quality for a cohesive voice. The texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the irregular edges and internal stroke variation read as intentional grit.
