A lively handwritten script with thick, brush-like strokes and rounded, slightly tapered terminals. Letterforms are loosely connected with a buoyant baseline and varied rhythm, showing small changes in stroke width and spacing that reinforce a natural, drawn texture. Counters are compact and curves are generously rounded, with occasional simplified joins and a mix of smooth and slightly wobbly contours that keep the texture organic.
Best suited for short to medium display text where personality is the priority—logos, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to accommodate its lively joins and loops.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with an informal, personal feel reminiscent of quick brush lettering. Its bouncy movement and soft shapes give it a kid-friendly, optimistic voice that reads as relaxed rather than formal or polished.
Designed to capture an easy, brush-pen handwriting look: expressive, friendly, and immediately legible at display sizes. The forms prioritize charm and momentum over strict regularity, aiming for a natural handwritten cadence that feels personal and upbeat.
Capitals are bold and gestural, designed to stand out in initial positions without becoming overly ornate. Lowercase forms lean on looped ascenders/descenders and simplified connections, producing a steady handwritten flow while preserving clear word shapes in display sizes.
