A lively handwritten script with a rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are smooth and mostly monoline, with soft swelling at turns and tapered terminals that mimic quick ink lift-offs. Letterforms show generous curves, occasional looped entrances/exits, and slightly irregular baseline rhythm, producing an organic, human cadence. The capitals are taller and more gestural than the lowercase, while spacing stays open enough for word shapes to read clearly in short lines.
Best suited to display situations where an informal, personal voice is desirable—such as packaging labels, café menus, event posters, greeting cards, and social graphics. It also works well for short headlines, pull quotes, and signatures/attribution lines, especially when paired with a clean sans for body text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like a quick note or signature on a card. Its bouncy motion and rounded joins feel upbeat and approachable, leaning more playful than formal. The hand-drawn variability adds charm and spontaneity without becoming messy.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, confident handwriting with a lightly brushy texture and flowing connections. The intent appears to be an expressive, friendly script that stays readable while retaining natural variation and a hand-made character.
Ascenders and capitals create a strong vertical presence, while many lowercase forms keep compact counters and quick, flicked endings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and legible with slight stroke wobble and natural pen pressure. The texture becomes more expressive at larger sizes, where the brush-like terminals and loops are most noticeable.
