A lively, right-leaning script with a brush-pen feel and softly rounded stroke terminals. Letterforms are unconnected but flow with a consistent cursive rhythm, showing gentle thick–thin modulation and occasional tapered entries and exits. Proportions are open and slightly bouncy, with generous curves, looped shapes, and small, decorative swashes in select capitals and descenders that add motion without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to short to medium text where personality matters—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, product packaging, and upbeat brand headlines. It can also work for lightweight editorial accents (pull quotes, section headers) when paired with a simpler companion typeface for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, balancing a hint of calligraphic polish with an approachable, hand-drawn spontaneity. Its buoyant curves and playful loops give it an upbeat, conversational character that feels inviting rather than formal.
Designed to emulate neat brush calligraphy in a non-connecting, easy-to-set form, prioritizing charm and momentum over strict uniformity. The intent reads as a versatile display script that delivers handcrafted warmth while staying clear enough for general-purpose titling.
Capitals tend to be more expressive, featuring curved stems and subtle flourish-like hooks, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and a lightly stylized, brushed finish that stays cohesive alongside the alphabet.
