A handwritten script with brush-pen flavor, combining smooth curves with occasional sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavier downstrokes and lighter hairline connections that create an airy rhythm. Letterforms are compact with tight counters, rounded bowls, and slightly irregular widths that reinforce a natural, drawn feel. Connections between letters are frequent in lowercase, but not rigidly continuous, producing a loose cursive flow that stays generally upright and legible.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where a friendly, handcrafted voice is needed—logos, product packaging, café/retail signage, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or headings, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous size and spacing to keep the hairline joins from feeling busy.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, like casual note-taking or a boutique sign written with a felt brush. Its lively contrast and springy shapes give it a warm, approachable character that feels expressive without becoming chaotic.
Designed to mimic expressive brush handwriting in a clean, consistent set, aiming for a polished handmade look that reads quickly while still feeling personal and informal.
Uppercase forms are tall and simplified, acting as display initials that sit comfortably beside the more fluid lowercase. Numerals are handwritten in style with open, rounded shapes and clear differentiation, matching the same contrast and terminal behavior as the letters.
