A lively handwritten script with brush-pen modulation and noticeable contrast between thin entry strokes and heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and slightly narrow overall, with a gentle bounce along the baseline and a right-leaning cursive flow that remains mostly upright. Strokes end in soft hooks and tapered terminals, and many capitals use looped, single-stroke constructions that feel drawn rather than formally calligraphed. Lowercase counters are rounded and open, with a relatively small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where its loops and contrast can read clearly—event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product labels, and social posts. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a clean sans or serif for body copy and supporting information.
The tone is warm, informal, and approachable—more like a personal note or hand-lettered label than a formal script. The looping capitals and bouncy texture give it a cheerful, slightly whimsical character suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with enough consistency for repeated use, while preserving the spontaneity of hand lettering. The goal appears to be an energetic, friendly script that delivers personality in titles and emphasis lines.
Capitals are expressive and vary in structure more than the lowercase, creating a handcrafted headline feel. Numerals follow the same brushy logic with simple, open shapes and tapered endings, keeping the overall texture consistent in mixed alphanumeric settings.
