A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing rounded terminals, tapered joins, and gently irregular stroke edges that mimic marker drag. Letters are compact and tall with tight sidebearings, while overall spacing and widths vary slightly for an organic rhythm. The forms lean forward and many lowercase characters show simple cursive connections or near-connections, with looped ascenders/descenders and soft, open bowls. Capitals are simplified and narrow, matching the lowercase’s informal energy rather than adopting formal calligraphic structure.
Best suited for short, expressive text such as headlines, pull quotes, packaging callouts, invites, and social graphics where a personable handwritten voice is desired. It can work for brief subheads or captions, but its compact proportions and handwritten variability are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font reads warm and informal, like quick note-taking or a friendly headline written by hand. Its bouncy rhythm and slightly uneven texture add personality without feeling messy, giving it a cheerful, conversational tone.
Designed to capture an everyday cursive hand with a brush-marker texture—more personable than polished—balancing consistent letterforms with small natural irregularities to feel authentic and energetic.
Legibility remains strong at display sizes thanks to clear silhouettes and generous counters, though the narrow proportions and tight spacing can make longer passages feel dense. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and modest stroke modulation, keeping a consistent tone alongside text.
