A lively, handwritten cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and a brush-pen rhythm. Strokes show clear pressure modulation—thicker downstrokes and lighter hairlines—creating a crisp, high-contrast texture. Letterforms are tall and compact with narrow overall proportions, rounded terminals, and occasional open joins that keep the script from feeling overly connected. The baseline has a gentle bounce, and spacing varies slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural, hand-drawn cadence.
Well-suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, logos, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts where a human, informal voice is desired. It can also work for brief pull quotes or labels, but the lively rhythm and variable spacing favor display sizes over dense paragraph settings.
The font reads warm and personable, with an upbeat, conversational tone. Its energetic slant and brushy contrast evoke quick marker notes or modern hand-lettering, balancing charm with clarity for short bursts of text.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable form—expressive and personal without becoming messy. The narrow, tall proportions and controlled contrast aim to keep words compact and legible while still feeling hand-made.
Capitals are simplified and upright in structure but still slanted, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. Descenders (such as g, j, y) are long and expressive, while bowls and counters stay relatively open for a script. Numerals match the handwritten style and maintain the same pressure-driven stroke behavior for consistent texture in mixed text.
