A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and a relaxed, slightly bouncy baseline. Strokes are mostly monoline with gentle pressure shifts and tapered terminals, giving letters a quick, drawn-in-one-go rhythm. The forms are tall and slender with long ascenders and descenders, open counters, and simple looped constructions; joins appear in lowercase while capitals read more like standalone written initials. Numerals follow the same flowing, lightly irregular stroke behavior for a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a personal voice is desired, such as social posts, greeting cards, invitations, lifestyle packaging, and pull quotes. It also works as an accent face in branding—especially for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a casual handwritten signature feel.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like a neat but spontaneous note written with a felt-tip or brush pen. Its energy feels contemporary and approachable, balancing charm and legibility without becoming overly formal or ornate.
Designed to simulate quick, confident cursive writing with brush-like terminals and an easygoing rhythm, prioritizing warmth and character in display and headline use while staying readable in mixed-case phrases.
Letterforms show intentional irregularities (subtle wobble, varied entry/exit strokes) that reinforce an authentic hand-drawn character. Uppercase shapes are airy and gestural, while lowercase maintains a smoother connective flow, creating clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings.
