A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from smooth, tapering strokes and gentle curve-to-curve transitions. Letterforms lean forward and run on a variable rhythm, with narrow proportions and open counters that keep words feeling light on the page. Capitals are taller and more gestural, often using looped entries and extended terminals, while lowercase maintains a compact core with frequent joining strokes and occasional lifted connections. Numerals are simple and rounded, matching the same soft, drawn line quality and informal construction.
Well suited to logos, packaging callouts, social posts, greeting cards, and invitations where a human, conversational voice is needed. It also works for short display lines—quotes, headers, and product names—where its expressive capitals and flowing texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is personable and upbeat, like quick, confident handwriting made for friendly communication. Its looping capitals and flowing joins add a touch of charm and spontaneity without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of real handwriting in a polished, repeatable form, balancing quick brush-like movement with enough consistency for set text. The emphasis appears to be on a light, flowing texture and characterful capitals that elevate simple phrases.
Stroke endings tend to finish with slight flicks and rounded terminals, and spacing varies naturally, reinforcing the hand-drawn cadence. The script stays readable in short phrases, with distinctive capitals that can add emphasis in headings or names.
