A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining tall, narrow letterforms with pronounced stroke contrast between downstrokes and lighter hairlines. The slant is consistent and forward, with rounded terminals, frequent loops, and gently tapering ends that suggest quick, confident strokes. Capitals are decorative and prominent, while the lowercase maintains a flowing rhythm with occasional partial connections and generous ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, staying narrow and slightly irregular in width for a natural, drawn texture.
This script works well for short to medium display text such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, and social posts where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It can also add character to packaging, café menus, and small brand marks, especially when set with ample spacing and paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The font reads upbeat and personable, with a buoyant rhythm that feels informal and human. Its looping forms and brushy contrast give it a spirited, crafty tone—more expressive than polished—suited to warm, conversational messaging.
Designed to emulate expressive brush handwriting with a compact, tall silhouette and decorative caps. The intent appears to balance legibility with personality, delivering an energetic cursive style that feels personal and crafted rather than formal.
Some glyphs show intentional idiosyncrasies typical of handwriting, including varied joining behavior and slightly shifting proportions across characters. The overall color on the line stays even despite the contrast, aided by the narrow set and tall vertical emphasis.
