A lively script with a hand-drawn, brush-pen character and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are smooth and rounded with frequent loops on ascenders/descenders, soft entry and exit swashes, and teardrop-like joins that add a decorative rhythm. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a bouncy, informal baseline and a relatively modest x-height compared to tall ascenders. Spacing appears comfortable and the overall texture stays consistent across upper- and lowercase, while numerals echo the same rounded, calligraphic construction.
Well-suited for branding and logo wordmarks, packaging, café or artisanal product labels, invitations, greeting cards, and short editorial headlines. It performs best when given room to breathe—used for titles, pull quotes, and accent text rather than long paragraphs.
The font reads as warm and personable, with a lightly nostalgic, boutique feel. Its looping forms and gentle swagger give it a playful elegance—more charming and handcrafted than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture the look of confident hand lettering with calligraphic contrast and friendly, rounded flourishes. The emphasis appears to be on expressive display typography that feels crafted and approachable while remaining cohesive across the alphabet and numerals.
Uppercase forms are notably decorative and can dominate at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains clearer, more continuous script movement. Several characters include distinctive looped terminals and curled strokes that create strong personality but also increase visual activity in dense settings.
