A lively calligraphic script with unconnected, right-leaning letterforms and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are thick and rounded with gentle contrast, swelling through curves and narrowing at joins, and many terminals finish in soft teardrops or small flicks. The overall rhythm is bouncy and irregular in a controlled way, with slightly varying character widths and generous, rounded counters that keep the texture open despite the heavy strokes. Numerals share the same soft, curving construction and lean, blending smoothly with the alphabet.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where its bold, brushy personality can lead. It also works well for greeting cards, invitations, and playful packaging, especially when set at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The tone is cheerful and expressive, suggesting hand-lettered charm rather than strict formality. Its rounded weight and subtle flourishes give it a nostalgic, storybook warmth that feels inviting and a bit theatrical.
Designed to capture a hand-drawn, brush-calligraphy look with friendly softness and decorative swashes, aiming for expressive display impact and distinctive word shapes.
Capitals are especially decorative, with looped entries and curved spurs that create strong word-shape silhouettes. The italic slant and swelling strokes produce a dynamic baseline flow, making short phrases feel energetic while dense setting can read as intentionally bold and attention-grabbing.
