A lively brush-script with rounded forms and visibly hand-drawn stroke behavior. Letters show moderate slant variation while remaining mostly upright, with soft terminals, occasional tapered entries, and subtly uneven curves that mimic marker or brush pressure. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, and spacing feels organic rather than strictly measured, producing a natural handwritten rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same informal, slightly irregular construction for a cohesive text-and-display palette.
Well suited to short-to-medium headlines, packaging callouts, café-style menus, greeting cards, and social graphics where an approachable handmade tone is desired. It can also work for branding accents and product labels, especially when paired with a calmer sans for supporting text.
The font reads cheerful and conversational, like quick signage or a personal note. Its bouncy rhythm and loopy joins create an upbeat, welcoming tone that feels informal and personable rather than formal or editorial.
Designed to capture the immediacy of brush or marker lettering while staying legible in common phrases and mixed-case settings. The goal appears to be an energetic, friendly script that provides personality and warmth for display-forward typography.
Uppercase characters lean toward simplified, handwritten capitals that pair smoothly with the more connected lowercase. Join behavior is intermittent—some connections and linking strokes appear, but letters can also stand independently—so text keeps a spontaneous, hand-lettered feel. The overall color is dark and confident, with enough texture from stroke variation to avoid looking mechanical.
