A rounded, brush-like script with chunky strokes and gently irregular contours that preserve a hand-drawn feel. Letterforms show a bouncy baseline rhythm and variable character widths, with smooth curves, softened terminals, and occasional looped forms (notably in rounded counters and some descenders). Uppercase shapes lean toward simplified, sign-like constructions with broad curves, while lowercase forms read as informal cursive with intermittent connections and lively, slightly uneven stroke endings.
Well-suited to short display text where personality is a priority—logos, café or boutique branding, product packaging, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for invitations, greeting cards, and cheerful editorial pull quotes, especially when set with ample spacing and paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a whimsical, slightly retro charm reminiscent of hand-lettered signage and casual note-taking. Its generous curves and soft edges keep it warm and personable rather than formal.
Designed to capture the charm of casual hand lettering in a bold, highly legible script that remains expressive without relying on high contrast or delicate details. The intent appears to balance readability with playful gesture, creating a versatile display face for friendly, informal communication.
The texture is intentionally imperfect, suggesting a marker or brush pen; this adds character in display sizes. Some letters feature distinctive loops and swashes that create visual flair, while spacing and joining behavior feel naturalistic rather than strictly consistent, reinforcing the handmade aesthetic.
