A lively handwritten script with brush-pen character and visibly tapered terminals. Strokes swing between thick downstrokes and finer hairlines, with rounded joins, open counters, and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Capitals are tall and expressive with simplified, gestural construction, while lowercase forms use compact bowls and looped ascenders/descenders that keep words flowing without rigid connectivity. Numerals follow the same informal, drawn-in-one-go feel, with soft curves and slightly irregular proportions that read as intentionally organic rather than mechanical.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as brand marks, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works well for headings, pull quotes, and display lines where its animated stroke contrast and looping forms can be appreciated without demanding extended reading.
The font conveys an approachable, upbeat tone—like quick signage or a personal note written with a felt or brush pen. Its loops and sweeping capitals add charm and a touch of whimsy, making text feel conversational and energetic.
Designed to emulate casual brush lettering with a polished, consistent rhythm—balancing legibility with expressive, loop-driven forms for friendly display typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally loose in places, reinforcing the hand-drawn impression. Distinctive long ascenders and descenders create an airy texture, and the more decorative capitals can become the focal point in short phrases or titles.
