A lively brush-script with a rightward slant and soft, rounded terminals. Strokes show a marker/brush feel with gently swelling curves and slightly tapered joins, producing a steady but hand-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are compact and narrow overall, with a small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that give the line a tall, airy profile. Spacing and widths vary naturally, and many lowercase forms connect or nearly connect, reinforcing a flowing handwritten texture.
Well suited for short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social graphics, and product packaging. It also works for café or boutique branding elements such as menus, labels, and signage, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the tight x-height and stroke detail.
The font reads upbeat and personable, with a spontaneous, note-to-a-friend energy. Its smooth loops and bouncy baseline create an approachable, optimistic tone suited to informal messaging and lighthearted branding.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush lettering—casual, legible, and expressive—while remaining consistent enough for repeated display use across headings and short phrases.
Uppercase characters behave like informal script capitals rather than rigid display caps, blending well with the lowercase. Counters stay fairly open for a brush script, and the numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
