A brush-pen style script with thick, inky strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms show lively stroke modulation and soft joins, with occasional gaps between characters despite an overall cursive construction. The texture feels hand-drawn: curves are slightly irregular, counters are compact, and stroke endings often taper subtly or bulb into teardrop-like shapes. Uppercase forms are simplified and tall, while lowercase keeps a steady x-height and a buoyant baseline rhythm; numerals are similarly rounded and informal with clear, bold silhouettes.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as brand marks, product labels, café menus, invitations, and social graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs best in headlines and display applications, and can work for brief captions or pull quotes when set with generous spacing.
The font conveys an upbeat, personable tone—like quick marker lettering for notes, menus, or crafty signage. Its bouncy rhythm and soft shapes read as approachable and energetic rather than formal or restrained.
Designed to replicate confident brush lettering with an approachable, modern craft feel, balancing bold presence with a casual handwritten rhythm. The simplified caps and rounded, high-ink strokes aim for quick readability while keeping a personal, hand-made character.
Spacing and connections appear intentionally loose, giving words a breathable, handwritten cadence while maintaining strong presence at display sizes. The heavier strokes and compact counters suggest it will feel most comfortable when given enough size and line spacing to avoid darkening in dense text.
