A casual handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, combining smooth curves with occasional sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, giving letters a lively rhythm and slightly calligraphic sparkle without becoming formal. The forms are generally upright with soft rounding, compact counters, and a modest x-height relative to tall ascenders and descenders. Connection behavior is mixed: many lowercase letters link fluidly in words, while some joins break, reinforcing an organic, handwritten cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its handmade energy can be appreciated: logos, product labels, quotes, headings, invitations, and craft-oriented branding. It can work for brief emphasis in text, but performs most confidently when given enough size and spacing to keep the loops and contrast clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, like quick lettering on invitations, packaging, or social posts. Its lively stroke contrast and looping shapes add personality and warmth, leaning more fun and conversational than refined or corporate.
Designed to capture the look of informal brush lettering in a tidy, repeatable font: personable, energetic, and readable while still preserving the slight irregularities and varied joins that make handwriting feel genuine.
Capitals are simple and narrow with clean, open shapes, pairing well with the more animated lowercase. Several letters feature distinctive loops (notably in forms like g, y, and f) and round i/j dots that contribute to a charming, handmade texture. Numerals follow the same brushy, narrow rhythm and stay visually consistent with the alphabet.
