A heavy, slanted script with rounded, brush-like strokes and smooth, bulbous terminals. Letterforms are built from compact counters and flowing curves, with frequent entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, connected rhythm in text. Capitals are prominent and decorative, using broad swashes and teardrop-like endings that read clearly at display sizes. The lowercase is tighter and more compact, with small internal apertures and simplified joins that keep the texture dense and even across words; numerals follow the same soft, curving logic.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its weight and swashes can be appreciated—logos, café/retail signage, packaging fronts, posters, and social graphics. It also works well for invitations or festive headlines when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and cheerful, with a confectionery, sign-painting warmth. Its thick, cushioned curves and lively slant give it a welcoming, informal elegance that leans more fun than formal.
Designed to deliver a bold, connected script look with a retro display flavor—prioritizing expressive capitals, smooth continuity in word shapes, and strong presence over small-size readability.
Because the strokes are very full and the counters are relatively small, the face gains strong color and impact but can lose clarity at small sizes or in tightly spaced settings. The most distinctive character comes from the uppercase set, which provides much of the personality through swashy shapes and bold silhouettes.
