A lively script with a brush-pen feel, combining slender hairlines with swollen downstrokes and soft, rounded terminals. Letterforms lean consistently and show a bouncy baseline rhythm, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies that emphasize vertical flow. Connections are frequent in the lowercase, but not rigidly continuous—strokes often taper into joins, creating an informal, handwritten cadence. Caps are simplified and slightly decorative, pairing well with the looser lowercase, and numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and curved entry/exit strokes.
Best used for short-to-medium display text where its expressive contrast and looping joins can breathe—brand wordmarks, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can work for subheads and small blocks if set with generous spacing, but it will be most legible and characteristic at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm and personable, reading as spontaneous and human rather than polished or formal. Its loops and gentle swashes add a lighthearted, slightly romantic character that feels well suited to friendly messaging and expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to evoke modern brush calligraphy in a tidy, font-ready form—balancing expressive pen pressure and looping handwriting with consistent proportions for repeatable display use.
Stroke modulation is a defining feature: thin connecting strokes and counters contrast with bold verticals, creating sparkle at larger sizes. Some characters include distinctive looped details (notably in forms like g, y, and several caps), adding charm but also increasing visual activity in dense settings.
