A lively, right-slanted handwritten script with brush-pen construction and rounded terminals. Strokes show gentle contrast and smooth joins, with an uneven, natural rhythm that mimics quick marker lettering. Letterforms are compact with tall ascenders/descenders relative to the small lowercase body, and many characters feature soft loops and open counters. Capitals are simplified and flowing rather than formal, and numerals follow the same cursive, hand-drawn logic with curved spines and varied widths.
Works well for short to medium-length display copy where a personal touch is desired, such as packaging, café or boutique branding, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It’s also suitable for pull quotes, headers, and informal signage where a friendly handwritten voice is more important than strict typographic regularity.
The overall tone is warm and personable, conveying an easygoing, conversational feel. Its energetic slant and bouncy spacing give it a youthful, handmade character that reads as friendly and informal rather than refined or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, confident brush handwriting—expressive and readable at display sizes—while keeping letterforms simple enough to remain coherent across mixed-case text and numerals.
Connectivity is suggestive rather than strictly continuous—some letters link naturally in text while others remain lightly separated, reinforcing a real-handwriting look. The stroke endings stay smooth and rounded, avoiding sharp calligraphic serifs, and the set maintains consistent motion and angle across upper- and lowercase.
