A lively cursive script with tall, slender proportions and energetic, brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms show pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and hairline connectors, with frequent entry/exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm even when characters are not fully joined. Loops and open counters are common, and terminals tend toward tapered, calligraphic finishes with occasional swashy extenders. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-drawn cadence while remaining visually consistent across the set.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text such as logos, product names, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social posts. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when set with generous size and comfortable line spacing to preserve its hairline connections and looping details.
The overall tone is cheerful and personable, with a light, handmade elegance. Its bouncy curves and looping forms give it a casual, crafty feel, while the high-contrast brush strokes add a touch of refined charm suitable for feel-good, conversational typography.
Designed to capture a natural, handwritten brush-script feel with expressive contrast and a flowing, personable rhythm. The narrow, tall structure and swashy touches aim to deliver strong character in headlines and branded phrases while keeping an informal, approachable voice.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and gestural, providing distinctive word shapes and strong initial-letter presence. Numerals follow the same brush-script logic, mixing bold strokes with delicate hairlines, which reads best at display sizes where the fine joins and tapered terminals can stay crisp.
