A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining smooth curves with occasional tapered joins and thickened downstrokes. Letterforms are generally upright with a bouncy baseline and generous loops in ascenders and descenders, producing a rhythmic, informal texture. Strokes show noticeable contrast and soft terminals, with slightly irregular widths that reinforce the hand-drawn character. Uppercase forms are tall and decorative, while lowercase shapes stay compact with tidy counters and frequent looped entries and exits.
Well suited to short to medium display text such as greeting cards, party invitations, labels, boutique packaging, social posts, and pull quotes. It can also work for light branding applications where a personal, handwritten impression is desired, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for longer copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, reading like neat, upbeat handwriting. Its looping forms and buoyant rhythm give it a light, crafty charm that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture the look of confident, casual brush lettering with a tidy, consistent rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on charm and personality—expressive capitals, looped forms, and a smooth flow that stays readable in typical display sizes.
Caps are stylized and attention-grabbing, making them effective for initials and short headline words. Numerals and punctuation match the handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and simple, legible construction that fits the script’s flow.
