A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and gently slanted construction. Strokes show modest thick–thin modulation and soft, rounded terminals, with occasional ink-like swelling at joins and curves. Letterforms are compact with tight sidebearings and a bouncy baseline rhythm, mixing connected cursive behavior with a few simplified, print-like shapes. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while counters stay small and shapes remain narrow and upright-leaning overall, giving lines a dense, energetic texture.
Well-suited to short, expressive settings such as packaging callouts, social media graphics, greeting cards, invitations, and quote treatments. It performs best at display sizes where the brushy modulation and lively loops remain clear, and can add warmth to branding accents when used sparingly.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick note-taking with a felt tip or brush marker. Its looping forms and rhythmic bounce read as upbeat and approachable, with a slightly quirky, handcrafted charm rather than polished formality.
Designed to mimic fast, natural handwriting with a brush pen, prioritizing warmth and personality over strict uniformity. The narrow, compact rhythm and animated capitals suggest an intention for punchy, space-efficient display text that still feels personal and handcrafted.
The texture varies naturally across glyphs, creating a hand-drawn irregularity that feels intentional. Uppercase letters are especially expressive, often featuring large loops and distinctive entry/exit strokes that can stand out as word-shaping anchors.
