A lively, brush-pen script with a forward slant and softly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are built from rounded, continuous curves and frequent looped joins, with a slightly bouncy baseline and varied entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm hand-drawn. Capitals are tall and expressive, often using single-stroke constructions and open counters, while lowercase forms stay compact with quick turns and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Overall spacing feels natural rather than strictly uniform, and the figures share the same handwritten momentum and soft tapering.
Well suited for short display text where personality matters—logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, café menus, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for headings and pull quotes when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting copy.
The tone is warm and approachable, like quick signage or a personal note written with a felt brush pen. Its looping gestures and energetic cadence read as cheerful and informal, with a hint of spontaneity that suits friendly, human-centered messaging.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush handwriting—expressive capitals, flowing connections, and a natural, conversational rhythm—prioritizing charm and immediacy over strict typographic regularity.
Some glyphs lean toward simplified, monoline-like constructions while others show more pronounced swelling and tapering, reinforcing an authentic, drawn-by-hand feel. The set emphasizes smooth curves and open shapes over sharp corners, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving the script character.
