A lively brush-pen script with chunky, rounded strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline and elastic spacing, mixing connected cursive behavior with occasional breaks that keep the texture open. Terminals are soft and tapered, counters are compact, and many glyphs feature small entry/exit swashes that create a rhythmic, handwritten flow. Capitals are prominent and slightly flamboyant, pairing well with the simpler, looped lowercase.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text such as packaging labels, café/food branding, greeting cards, invitations, headers, and social posts where a personable handmade voice is desired. It can also work for quotes or highlights in editorial layouts when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with an informal hand-lettered character that feels crafty and personable. Its energetic rhythm and soft curves give it a lighthearted, vintage-leaning charm suited to warm, conversational messaging.
Designed to emulate confident brush handwriting with a polished, repeatable rhythm—combining bold presence with smooth cursive movement for expressive, friendly display typography.
The numerals echo the same brush logic, with rounded forms and varied stroke endings that maintain consistency across text and display sizes. The texture becomes more animated in longer phrases, where the forward slant and contrast create a distinct, calligraphic cadence.
