A lively brush-pen script with thick-to-thin modulation and visibly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms show a bouncy baseline and slightly irregular rhythm, with rounded bowls, looped ascenders/descenders, and compact counters that deepen the inked-in feel. Connections appear frequently in lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and display simple, brushy construction with soft edges and occasional roughness that reads as natural tool texture.
Works well for short to medium display copy where a friendly handwritten presence is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, and social graphics. It can also support headings or pull quotes when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with an energetic, handwritten character that feels spontaneous rather than polished. Its rounded shapes and soft terminals give it an approachable, upbeat voice suited to warm, conversational messaging.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush lettering in a repeatable type system, emphasizing expressive stroke contrast, natural variation, and an easygoing cursive flow for attention-grabbing display use.
Capitals are sturdy and legible with a hand-drawn consistency, while lowercase forms carry most of the cursive flow through joins and loops. Numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing open curves with strong verticals for a cohesive, handcrafted texture across text.
