A casual script with a brush-pen feel, built from rounded strokes that swell and taper for a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are compact and slightly right-leaning, with soft terminals and frequent looped joins in the lowercase, giving words an easy, continuous flow. Capitals read like simplified, handwritten print forms that sit comfortably alongside the connected lowercase. Numerals are chunky and informal, with the same rounded, inked contours and slight irregularities that keep the texture organic.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten tone is desired, such as branding accents, packaging labels, invitations, posters, and social media graphics. It is especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and emphasis lines where the brushy texture and connected rhythm can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a buoyant, conversational energy. Its soft curves and confident brush modulation create a cheerful, approachable voice that feels informal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with consistent rhythm and an easy-to-read, rounded structure. The intent appears to balance informal charm with enough regularity to stay legible across common display applications.
Stroke contrast appears driven by simulated pressure, producing thicker downstrokes and thinner entrances/exits. Spacing is relatively tight and the forms are compact, which helps maintain word cohesion in script settings while keeping a hand-lettered character.
