A brush-script style with rounded strokes, tapered terminals, and noticeable stroke modulation that suggests pressure from a marker or brush pen. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, slightly bouncy baseline and variable rhythm across characters. Uppercase shapes are simplified and bold, while lowercase forms introduce more loops and entry/exit strokes, producing occasional connections in running text. Counters are generally compact and forms are softly inflated, giving the alphabet a smooth, approachable silhouette.
Works best for short to medium display text where its brushy modulation and looping forms can be appreciated—logos, product labels, invitations, posters, and social media headlines. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a restrained sans or serif for contrast in editorial or marketing layouts.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, packaging, or social graphics. Its energetic loops and soft curves add a lighthearted, conversational feel without becoming overly ornamental.
Designed to emulate an easygoing brush-pen handwriting look: bold enough to read at display sizes, with friendly curves and occasional connections to preserve a natural, written flow. The emphasis appears to be on charm and personality rather than strict uniformity.
The font relies on gesture and stroke texture more than strict geometric consistency, creating a natural handwritten cadence. In text settings, the mix of connected and unconnected joins keeps the line lively and reinforces the hand-drawn character.
