A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing rounded forms, soft terminals, and subtle stroke swelling. Letterforms lean consistently and vary in width, creating a bouncy rhythm with occasional tall ascenders and long, swinging descenders. Connections are frequent in lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and gestural, with loose entry strokes and simplified interior counters. The overall texture is smooth and legible, with a slightly irregular, human cadence rather than strict geometric consistency.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a personal touch is desired, such as brand wordmarks, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It also works for pull quotes and headings, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The tone is warm and informal, like quick but confident handwriting on a note or label. Its looping strokes and upbeat rhythm give it an approachable, upbeat personality that feels personal and conversational.
Designed to emulate natural cursive handwriting with a brush-like stroke, balancing expressive loops with enough regularity to remain readable in common display sizes. The compact proportions and energetic slant suggest an intent to deliver a friendly, modern handwritten look without heavy decoration.
Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in construction despite the overall slant, helping headings stay compact. Numerals and lowercase share the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and gentle joins that keep lines flowing without feeling overly ornate.
