A slanted, brush-pen style script with rounded terminals and gently tapered strokes. Letterforms show a lively rhythm and hand-drawn irregularity, with narrow overall proportions and compact counters that keep words tight on the line. Strokes alternate between fuller downstrokes and lighter connecting hairlines, and many lowercase characters use soft entry/exit strokes that encourage joining. Ascenders and descenders are moderately tall and often finish with small hooks or loops, giving the texture a buoyant, handwritten flow.
Well-suited to short to medium-length copy where a relaxed handwritten voice is desired: social media graphics, greeting cards, invitations, packaging callouts, and quote treatments. It can also work for headers and subheads in lifestyle branding when paired with a clean sans for body text.
The font reads as warm and personable, with an informal, upbeat tone typical of quick marker or brush notes. Its bouncy spacing and expressive curves add a conversational feel, making text seem friendly and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a tidy, reusable form—balancing legibility with expressive joins and a natural, slightly uneven stroke flow.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, handwritten capitals that align visually with the lowercase rather than formal script swashes. Numerals follow the same casual, slightly irregular construction, helping mixed text (names, dates, short labels) feel consistent.
