A lively handwritten script with brush-pen modulation and rounded terminals. Strokes show soft, organic thick–thin changes, with slightly tapered ends and occasional swelling at joins. Letterforms are compact and tall, with a narrow overall footprint and a gently forward slant. Uppercase characters are simplified and loop-influenced, while lowercase forms use single-story structures and frequent entry/exit strokes that create an intermittent connection across words. Numerals are similarly handwritten, with smooth curves and a consistent, informal rhythm.
Well suited for short, expressive text such as brand marks, product labels, café menus, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It performs best at display sizes where the brushy modulation and looping details can read clearly, and can add an approachable handmade feel to headings and pull quotes.
The font reads warm and personable, like quick signage or a personal note written with a felt brush pen. Its bouncy cadence and soft curves give it a cheerful, informal tone that feels modern-craft rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush handwriting with a tidy, repeatable structure for set text. The narrow, tall proportions and lively connections aim to deliver personality and warmth while keeping word shapes recognizable.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand texture; some letters connect readily while others break to maintain clarity. Descenders and ascenders are prominent and looped, and the overall silhouette stays tall and slim, helping it remain legible even with a casual stroke.
