A lively handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show clear pressure modulation, alternating between crisp hairlines and heavier downstrokes, with rounded terminals and occasional tapering. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with buoyant baseline movement and generous, airy counters that keep long phrases readable. Capitals are taller and more gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact with long ascenders/descenders that add rhythm and sparkle.
Well-suited for brand marks, packaging callouts, café or boutique signage, and promotional headlines where a human, handcrafted voice is desired. It also works nicely for short quotes, invitations, and social media graphics, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick note-taking with a felt-tip or brush pen. It reads upbeat and approachable, with a slightly bouncy cadence that suggests spontaneity rather than strict formality.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual brush handwriting in a tidy, repeatable font—balancing expressive stroke contrast with consistent proportions so it remains legible in real-world display use.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, handwritten constructions rather than formal calligraphic swashes, helping the font stay versatile for mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded forms and stroke contrast that visually matches the letters.
