A lively, connected script with a brush-pen feel and a rightward slant. Strokes show smooth, rounded turns with occasional tapered terminals and a slightly irregular baseline that reinforces a handmade rhythm. Letterforms are compact and tall, with narrow overall proportions, tight internal counters, and frequent looped entries/exits that keep words flowing. Capitals are simpler and more upright than many scripts, with restrained flourishes and clear, continuous joins into lowercase.
Well suited for short to medium-length text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as logos, product packaging, cafe or boutique signage, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It works best at display sizes or in high-contrast settings where the compact counters and tight rhythm can breathe.
The font reads as warm and informal, with an energetic, conversational tone. Its quick, sketch-like motion and springy curves feel personable and upbeat rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to mimic fast, confident handwriting with a brush pen, prioritizing fluid connections and a lively, personal cadence. The intention appears to be an everyday script that feels authentic and approachable while remaining cohesive across mixed-case text and numerals.
Character shapes lean on distinctive looped forms (notably in letters with bowls and descenders), and numerals follow the same handwritten logic with open, rounded construction. The texture stays consistent across the alphabet, with small natural variations that add charm without becoming chaotic.
