A lively, hand-drawn script with brush-like strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a bouncy rhythm, rounded turns, and frequent entry/exit curls that create a soft, flowing line. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, and many capitals feature simple flourishes and tapering terminals. The overall texture alternates between compact joins and open counters, giving the text an energetic, handwritten cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its narrow, looping forms can add personality—such as greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, social posts, and pull-quote graphics. It can also work for branding accents and headlines when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with a lighthearted, slightly whimsical personality. Its looping capitals and springy lowercase make it feel personal and crafty rather than formal, suitable for designs that want charm and spontaneity.
Designed to emulate a neat, modern brush-pen handwriting style with a decorative script flavor—balancing legibility with playful swashes and a rhythmic, handcrafted texture.
Ascenders are prominent and often end in teardrop-like or curved terminals, while several letters incorporate distinctive loops (notably in capitals and in letters like g, y, and z). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing rounded forms with occasional swash-like strokes, which helps them blend naturally with the alphabet in display settings.
