A lively, brush-pen cursive with a rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, rounded joins, and occasional sharp terminals that mimic quick marker pressure. Letterforms are compact with a relatively small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders, creating a vertical, rhythmic texture. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, giving the line a natural handwritten flow with gently varied spacing and widths.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a handwritten presence is desirable—social graphics, greeting cards, labels, packaging callouts, and pull quotes. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a neutral sans or serif for headers, signatures, and brand taglines.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a spontaneous, note-to-note energy that feels conversational rather than formal. Its bouncy curves and soft loops suggest an upbeat, handcrafted character suited to friendly messaging and informal branding.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable set—balancing expressive capitals and flowing lowercase with enough consistency for everyday display use.
Capital forms are more expressive and gestural, often using long lead-in strokes and open counters, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive rhythm with occasional looped ascenders. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, pairing simple skeletons with tapered terminals so they sit comfortably alongside text.
