A lively brush-script style with a rightward slant and thick, rounded strokes that keep contrast relatively even. Letterforms are compact with a bouncy baseline and slightly irregular rhythm, mimicking quick marker or brush lettering. Curves are soft and full, terminals tend to taper or blunt like a loaded brush, and counters are generally open to maintain readability. Uppercase characters are simple and bold, while lowercase forms lean toward cursive construction with occasional joins and simplified loops; numerals are heavy, rounded, and informal.
Works well for short, high-impact copy such as posters, packaging callouts, café menus, social posts, and casual invitations. The strong stroke weight makes it effective at larger sizes for headlines, while its informal rhythm suits friendly branding and conversational messaging.
The font conveys an easygoing, personable tone—like a confident handwritten note or a casual sign. Its buoyant motion and brushy texture feel energetic and welcoming, with a playful charm rather than a polished, formal presence.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting in a repeatable typeface—prioritizing warmth, momentum, and bold presence. The forms balance legibility with a hand-rendered character, aiming for expressive display use rather than rigid typographic neutrality.
Stroke texture is smooth and consistent, with subtle variation from glyph to glyph that reinforces a hand-drawn feel. The slant and compact proportions create a fast, forward-moving line in text, and the overall color on the page is dark and strong, making short phrases and headlines stand out.
