A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from mostly continuous strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms show noticeable stroke modulation, with thickened downstrokes and finer connecting strokes that create a rhythmic, slightly bouncy line. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while bowls and counters stay open and soft, giving the text an airy, informal texture. The overall construction favors smooth curves, occasional swashes, and gentle irregularities that reinforce a natural hand-drawn look.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters, such as branding marks, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social posts. It performs especially well in headings, pull quotes, and logo-style lockups where the flowing connections and tall ascenders can shine without crowding.
The font reads warm and approachable, with an upbeat, conversational tone. Its looping joins and soft curves suggest a personal, crafted sensibility—more like a quick note or boutique label than formal correspondence. The energetic rhythm gives headlines a cheerful, spontaneous character.
Designed to capture the look of confident brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable digital form, prioritizing charm and expressiveness over strict typographic regularity. The emphasis on connected strokes and subtle contrast suggests an intention to provide an easygoing script for contemporary craft and lifestyle applications.
Uppercase forms lean toward decorative, simplified shapes that mix print-like structure with script-like entry strokes, while lowercase remains more consistently connected. Some letters introduce playful flourishes (notably in looped ascenders/descenders), and spacing feels intentionally organic rather than mechanically uniform.
