A connected script with a brush-pen feel, featuring rounded terminals and smooth, continuous joins. Strokes show gentle thick–thin modulation and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm, with narrow overall proportions and compact counters. Ascenders are tall and looped, descenders are long and fluid, and capitals mix open oval forms with occasional entry/exit swashes and cross-strokes that read as quickly handwritten.
Well-suited for short to medium display settings where a friendly handwritten voice is desirable—logos, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, pull quotes, and social graphics. It works best at sizes where the loops and joins have room to breathe, especially in headlines and emphasized phrases rather than dense body text.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick marker lettering on a card or café sign. Its looping movement and soft curves convey approachability and lighthearted energy without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush handwriting with consistent connectivity and an energetic slant, aiming for a casual signature-like impression that remains legible in display use.
Letterforms maintain consistent stroke texture and connective logic across the alphabet, giving phrases a cohesive, flowing word shape. Numerals match the script’s rhythm, leaning on curved forms and simplified strokes to stay visually aligned with the letters.
