A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing rounded strokes, tapered terminals, and gently fluctuating stroke width. Letterforms lean forward with an informal rhythm and slightly uneven spacing that preserves a natural, hand-drawn cadence. Capitals are tall and gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact with looping joins and simple, open counters; ascenders and descenders are prominent and add vertical movement. Numerals are similarly cursive and rounded, with soft curves and occasional entry/exit strokes that echo the alphabet.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a personal, handcrafted voice is desired—logos, small brand marks, packaging callouts, greeting cards, invitations, and social posts. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when set with generous spacing and moderate line length to keep the lively rhythm readable.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or friendly headlines. Its bouncy forms and soft curves read as informal and upbeat rather than formal or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting: expressive, legible at display sizes, and intentionally imperfect in ways that communicate authenticity and friendliness.
The design mixes connected and semi-connected behavior depending on letter pair, prioritizing a natural handwritten flow over strict consistency. Stroke endings often finish with slight flicks, and several glyphs show distinctive loops that add character in display sizes.
