A lively handwritten script with brush-like strokes and rounded terminals. The letterforms show gentle stroke modulation and slight wobble that preserves an authentic, drawn-by-hand rhythm. Curves are generous and slightly inflated, with tall ascenders/descenders and a compact lowercase body that creates a punchy, vertical texture. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, and many joins suggest cursive writing even when letters appear loosely connected in text.
Well-suited to branding that needs a human touch—such as boutique logos, product packaging, and café or lifestyle visuals. It performs best at display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and social media graphics, and can add warmth to invitations or greeting-style designs where a casual script voice is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, with an informal charm that feels approachable and contemporary. Its bouncy curves and soft endings read as friendly rather than formal, lending a conversational, human presence to headlines and short phrases.
Designed to emulate quick brush-pen handwriting with a confident, legible flow and a deliberately natural irregularity. The intention appears to balance expressiveness with readability, creating a script that feels spontaneous while remaining consistent enough for repeated use in branding and display typography.
Uppercase forms are simple and gestural, pairing comfortably with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals share the same handwritten energy, with rounded shapes and slightly irregular proportions that keep the set cohesive in display settings.
