A casual brush-pen script with smooth, rounded terminals and softly tapered joins. Strokes keep a largely consistent thickness with subtle modulation where curves turn, giving a painted, marker-like feel rather than sharp calligraphy. Letterforms are compact and tall with a bouncy baseline rhythm; counters stay open and simplified, and many shapes favor single-story, handwritten constructions. Spacing appears naturally uneven in an intentional way, reinforcing the hand-drawn character while remaining readable in short lines of text.
Works best for short to medium-length display copy where an informal, handcrafted voice is desired—social media graphics, headlines, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and sticker/label designs. It can also serve as an accent font paired with a neutral sans for body text.
The font reads upbeat and personable, like quick hand-lettering for notes, labels, or social captions. Its rounded forms and energetic rhythm feel approachable and youthful, with a warm DIY charm that avoids looking overly formal or precious.
The design appears intended to mimic confident, quick brush handwriting with clean readability, offering an expressive script that feels personal and contemporary without heavy ornamentation.
The uppercase set is simple and upright, while the lowercase leans more script-like with frequent connecting strokes and looped ascenders/descenders (notably in letters like g, j, y). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simplified shapes and a consistent brush texture that matches the letters.
