A lively handwritten script with rounded, brush-like strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms lean mostly upright with a bouncy baseline and irregular, human rhythm, mixing occasional connections with clear separations between characters. Strokes are relatively thick with modest contrast, and counters are open and simplified, giving the alphabet a clean, legible feel despite the informal texture. Capitals are tall and expressive, while lowercase forms stay compact and looped, creating a casual, friendly word shape.
Well suited for short-to-medium display copy where a personable, handmade tone is desired—such as branding accents, packaging labels, social graphics, posters, and casual invitations. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face to balance its energetic texture.
The font communicates an easygoing, upbeat personality—like quick marker lettering on a note, label, or menu board. Its rounded forms and gentle curves feel welcoming and informal, with a touch of crafty charm rather than formality.
Designed to emulate upbeat, brush-pen handwriting with consistent thickness and friendly rounded shapes. The intention appears to prioritize warmth and approachability while keeping forms simple enough to remain readable in common display sizes.
Spacing appears slightly uneven in a natural way, which enhances the hand-drawn character in longer text. Numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic and feel consistent with the letters, making mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive.
