A lively, handwritten script with a brush-pen look and a forward slant. Strokes taper into soft, rounded terminals, creating a high-contrast rhythm between thicker downstrokes and lighter connecting strokes. Letterforms are narrow and slightly irregular in width, with simplified joins and occasional partial connections rather than fully continuous linking. Ascenders and descenders are long and expressive, while the lowercase has a relatively small x-height, giving the text a tall, airy silhouette.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a warm, hand-lettered voice is desired—such as packaging, invitations, greeting cards, posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for brand accents and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the stroke contrast and tapered terminals remain clear.
The font reads as personable and informal, balancing neatness with hand-made character. Its bouncy baseline and soft curves suggest a cheerful, contemporary craft aesthetic rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with a clean, legible structure. The goal appears to be an approachable script that feels handmade and energetic while staying controlled enough for repeated use across headings and brand-forward applications.
Capitals are simple and upright in structure with gentle swelling and minimal flourish, helping headings stay readable. Lowercase forms show open counters and rounded bowls, with distinctive looped shapes in letters like g and y that add personality. Numerals match the handwritten tone, with slightly uneven forms and tapered ends consistent with the brushy stroke behavior.
