A lively handwritten script with rounded terminals, gently fluctuating stroke thickness, and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Letterforms are simplified and open, with soft curves and occasional looped joins that suggest quick pen or brush movement rather than rigid construction. Uppercase shapes are tall and prominent with friendly, slightly irregular proportions, while the lowercase shows compact counters and relatively short extenders, giving text a dense, rhythmic texture. Numerals follow the same casual, drawn feel with smooth curves and slightly asymmetric details.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text such as headlines, posters, invitations, and social graphics where an informal, personal tone is desired. It also fits packaging, product labels, and kid-oriented or crafty branding where a friendly handwritten voice can carry the message.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a lighthearted, conversational feel. Its imperfect, hand-drawn consistency reads as personal and warm—more like a note or handmade label than formal typography.
Designed to evoke natural handwriting with a smooth, approachable script character, prioritizing charm and personality over strict uniformity. The forms aim to feel quick, confident, and legible, making it effective for expressive display copy.
In longer lines, the texture is smooth and even despite subtle per-glyph variation, and the generous rounding helps maintain clarity at display sizes. The capital letters stand out strongly, creating a distinctive, friendly cadence in title case and mixed-case settings.
