A lively handwritten script with a rightward slant and brush-pen stroke behavior. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmically uneven in a natural way, with rounded terminals, occasional tapered starts/finishes, and gently swelling downstrokes that suggest moderate contrast. The texture stays smooth rather than scratchy, and the spacing feels compact, with many glyphs sitting close and flowing easily in word shapes. Uppercase forms are tall and looped with simple calligraphic structure, while lowercase maintains a small, tight body with prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical movement.
Well-suited for short, expressive text where a personal touch is desired—logos, small brand marks, product labels, quotes, social graphics, and invitation or greeting card headlines. It works best at display and larger text sizes, where the loop details and brush modulation stay clear.
The font reads as approachable and personal, like quick but careful handwriting for notes or packaging. Its buoyant loops and soft curves give it a cheerful, conversational tone, leaning more cozy and handmade than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the feel of informal brush lettering with a tidy, repeatable structure for typography. The goal appears to be a personable script that stays legible and upbeat while preserving the spontaneity of hand-drawn forms.
Word samples show consistent joining tendencies and a steady baseline with slight handwritten bounce, helping the face feel energetic without becoming chaotic. Numerals follow the same casual brush rhythm and remain legible at display sizes, matching the letterforms’ rounded, friendly personality.
