A lively, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and quick, tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are compact and tall with a small lowercase body, creating strong contrast between ascenders/descenders and the x-height. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation and slightly rough, hand-drawn terminals, with rounded joins and frequent entry/exit flicks. Connection behavior is fluid but not rigidly continuous, producing a natural handwritten rhythm with occasional breaks and variable letter spacing.
Works best at display sizes where its fast brush texture and tall proportions can be appreciated—logos, product packaging, café/food branding, headlines, and short callouts. It can also suit social graphics and quote-style compositions, especially where a casual, personal voice is desired.
The overall tone feels upbeat and informal, like a fast, confident note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its bouncy rhythm and looping forms read as personable and slightly nostalgic, suited to messaging that aims to feel human and approachable rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate quick, stylish handwriting with brush-like stroke behavior and expressive capitals, balancing readability with a spontaneous, handwritten feel for modern display typography.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from single sweeping strokes that add flair at the start of words. The numerals share the same handwritten energy, with open counters and curved strokes that prioritize flow over strict geometric consistency.
