A casual brush-script with rounded terminals and softly tapered strokes that mimic a felt-tip or brush pen. Letterforms lean forward with a lively rhythm, mixing connected and lightly separated joins for an informal handwritten flow. Uppercase shapes are simple and open, while lowercase forms show frequent loops and single-stroke construction; ascenders are tall and the x-height reads relatively low, giving the line a buoyant, airy texture. Numerals are similarly handwritten, with smooth curves and modest stroke modulation.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where an informal voice is desirable—logos, café menus, product packaging, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when paired with a clean sans for body text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick but confident note-taking or a friendly storefront message. Its bouncy movement and occasional flourish add a playful, upbeat character without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to capture an easygoing, modern handwritten look with brush-pen energy—prioritizing personality, motion, and friendly readability over strict calligraphic structure.
Stroke texture stays consistent across the set, with subtle thickness changes at curves and turns that reinforce the hand-drawn feel. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a controlled way, which helps it read as authentic handwriting while remaining coherent in longer text lines.
