A lively, right-leaning script with brush-pen proportions and softly tapered terminals. Strokes are moderately contrasted with smooth curves, rounded joins, and occasional swelling on downstrokes, creating a handwritten rhythm. Capitals are prominent and decorative with open loops and extended entry strokes, while lowercase forms are compact and simplified, with single-storey shapes and short ascenders/descenders that keep words tight. Counters stay fairly open for a script, and spacing varies slightly glyph to glyph, reinforcing the organic, drawn feel.
Well suited to short display copy where a personal, handmade voice is desired—such as greeting cards, invitations, product labels, boutique branding, social posts, and pull quotes. It performs best at larger sizes where the loops and subtle stroke modulation remain clear.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, reading like quick, confident handwriting made for friendly messages. Its looping capitals and buoyant baseline movement give it a cheerful, informal character that feels conversational rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the ease of everyday cursive with a slightly brushy texture and expressive capitals, offering a personable display script that feels spontaneous yet cohesive across a full alphanumeric set.
The letterforms maintain consistent slant and stroke texture across the set, but include natural irregularities in width and connection behavior that enhance authenticity. Numerals match the script style with rounded shapes and simple forms that blend comfortably into text.
