A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel, showing pronounced stroke-contrast between thick downstrokes and hairline upstrokes. Letterforms are gently slanted with rounded turns, occasional looped entries/exits, and tapered terminals that mimic real pen lift-offs. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with rhythmic, bouncy baselines and variable letter widths that keep texture animated. Uppercase forms are simplified and bold, often starting with soft swashes, while lowercase maintains an informal, handwritten construction with open counters and frequent connecting behavior in text.
Well-suited to short to medium display copy where personality is key—logos, labels, headlines, invitations, and quote graphics. It can also work for casual subheads or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a personal, note-like warmth. Its energetic contrast and springy rhythm give it a crafty, boutique tone that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of modern brush handwriting while remaining legible and cohesive across mixed-case settings. The emphasis appears to be on expressive contrast and friendly, contemporary script styling for attention-grabbing display use.
In the sample text, joins and spacing create a flowing line without becoming overly ornate, while the strongest emphasis comes from thick vertical strokes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and occasional looped shapes, maintaining consistency with the letterforms.
