A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, marked by pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are gently slanted and built from smooth, rounded curves, with occasional looped ascenders/descenders and compact counters that keep the overall texture tight. Stroke endings often finish in fine points or soft hooks, and spacing feels naturally irregular in a controlled way, giving the line a human rhythm while remaining clear in short phrases.
Well suited to logos, small brand marks, product packaging, and social graphics where an informal, handcrafted impression is desired. It also works nicely for invitations, greeting cards, and short quote headlines; for best results, use at display sizes where the contrast and fine terminals remain crisp.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a slightly whimsical bounce that reads as personal and upbeat rather than formal. Its energetic contrast and looping gestures suggest an expressive, friendly voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush handwriting—expressive strokes, quick joins, and a slightly bouncy baseline—while keeping letterforms recognizable for everyday display typography.
Uppercase forms lean decorative and signature-like, standing taller with more flourish than the lowercase, which stays relatively compact and quick. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing rounded bowls with narrow stems for a cohesive, informal set.
