A lively brush-script style with rounded terminals, tapered joins, and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes feel pressure-driven, with thicker downstrokes and lighter, quicker hairlines that create an inked, marker-like texture. Letterforms are compact and upright in structure but animated by slightly irregular widths and rhythm; counters stay open and curves are generously rounded. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while the lowercase body remains relatively compact, supporting a punchy, handwritten silhouette.
Works best for short display settings where personality matters—brand marks, packaging callouts, café menus, posters, and social media graphics. It can also suit pull quotes and titling when paired with a quieter text face, but the active stroke texture favors larger sizes over long passages.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a buoyant, personal feel that reads like quick signage or a handwritten note. Its energetic stroke movement and soft curves make it feel welcoming and modern, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to deliver a bold, handwritten voice with brush-like movement and friendly spontaneity. The intention appears to prioritize expressiveness and quick readability in display contexts, capturing the feel of casual hand lettering without becoming overly decorative.
Capitals are simplified and gestural, mixing print-like clarity with script influence rather than strict connection logic. Numerals follow the same brush rhythm, with rounded shapes and confident weight that keeps them visible alongside the letters.
