A lively handwritten script with rounded forms, looped ascenders/descenders, and a slightly brush-like stroke that swells subtly at curves and terminals. Letterforms lean mostly upright with a bouncy baseline rhythm and varied character widths, giving words an organic, uneven cadence. Connections appear intermittent: many lowercase letters link with simple joins while others stand more independently, keeping the texture open and readable. Capitals are tall and simplified, often with single-stroke entrances and soft, tapered ends that echo marker or brush lettering.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display text where a warm handmade voice is desired, such as product packaging, boutique and craft branding, invitations and greeting cards, social media graphics, and light editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles when paired with a more neutral text face.
The font feels personable and informal, like neat hand-lettering for notes, labels, and everyday signage. Its looping details and buoyant rhythm add a cheerful, crafty tone without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture the charm of quick, confident hand-lettering—balancing legibility with a natural, slightly irregular stroke and occasional connecting joins for a relaxed script feel.
The low x-height and tall ascenders create strong vertical movement, especially in mixed-case text. Numerals match the handwritten character with rounded shapes and simple construction, maintaining the same casual pace as the letters.
