A lively, brush-pen script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, connected letterforms. Strokes show rounded terminals and occasional soft swelling at curves, giving a gently brushed, inked feel without sharp contrast. The rhythm is bouncy and informal, with looping ascenders/descenders and a slightly irregular baseline that keeps the texture human and fluid. Capitals are larger and more gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact and join naturally into continuous words.
Well-suited to branding accents, packaging, café or boutique signage, social media graphics, and short quote treatments where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It performs best in headlines and short lines, and can also work for invitations or greeting-style messaging when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its energetic curves and looping forms feel upbeat and relaxed, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to capture the feel of natural, connected handwriting with a brush-pen smoothness—prioritizing charm, motion, and an authentic hand-drawn texture for expressive display typography.
Letter shapes favor open counters and simplified joins, helping words read smoothly at display sizes. Numerals match the script style with rounded, handwritten forms and consistent slant, maintaining a cohesive voice across mixed text.
