A brush-like script with strong thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals, mixing compact joins with occasional separated strokes. Letterforms lean mostly upright with a bouncy baseline rhythm, and many capitals feature prominent entry curls and small flourishes. Counters are generally open and soft, while strokes taper sharply at turns and finishes, giving a lively, inked texture. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved spines and teardrop-like endings that keep them stylistically consistent with the letters.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its contrast and decorative capitals can shine—such as branding marks, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, social graphics, and poster headlines. For longer passages, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity, especially around swashier capitals and tighter joins.
The overall tone is cheerful and personable, with a slightly vintage, hand-lettered charm. Its swashes and looping capitals add a sense of celebration and friendliness rather than formality, making it feel inviting and expressive.
Designed to evoke a hand-lettered, brush-script feel with energetic contrast and decorative capitals, aiming for a friendly display voice that reads as crafted and personal rather than mechanical.
Capital forms are the main expressive feature, often using decorative loops and curled terminals that can become visually prominent in tight settings. Lowercase has a smooth, rounded flow and a casual handwritten cadence, with occasional irregularities that reinforce the hand-drawn character.
