A lively handwritten script with brush-pen behavior and noticeable thick–thin contrast. Strokes are mostly upright with a slight forward movement, using rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries and exits. Letterforms feel narrow and compact, with a relatively short x-height and tall, looping ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, giving the alphabet a natural, written-on-the-fly texture while maintaining clear, readable silhouettes.
Well-suited to short headlines, product labels, invitations, and social graphics where a friendly handwritten feel is desired. It works best at medium to large sizes, where the contrast and looping details remain crisp and the energetic rhythm can drive personality in titles, pull quotes, and logo-like wordmarks.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a cheerful, informal energy. Its bouncy rhythm and soft curves suggest a conversational, approachable voice rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of brush handwriting while staying organized enough for clear reading in prominent text. The contrast, narrow proportions, and looped structures aim to deliver a charming, signature-like script voice for modern casual branding.
Several capitals show distinctive looped constructions and brushy swells that create strong word-shape character in display settings. Numerals are simple and hand-drawn in spirit, matching the script’s contrast and rounded finishing, making mixed text (words and numbers) feel cohesive.
