A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are rounded and slightly irregular in a controlled way, with a right-leaning slant and frequent looped forms. Letterforms show fluid entry/exit strokes, occasional breaks rather than fully continuous connections, and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Capitals are tall and expressive with simplified swashes, while lowercase forms stay compact with small counters and soft terminals.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as logos, product labels, quotes, greeting cards, and social posts where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It works best for headlines and callouts rather than long paragraphs, where the lively contrast and compact lowercase may reduce comfort.
The font reads warm and informal, like quick, confident handwriting on a card or café board. Its energetic loops and brushy contrast give it a cheerful, personable tone that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture an informal brush-script handwriting style with an energetic rhythm and clear personality. The emphasis appears to be on expressive, display-oriented lettering that feels crafted and human while remaining legible in short phrases.
Texture comes from subtle stroke tapering and uneven pressure, which adds authenticity at display sizes. Spacing and widths vary naturally across glyphs, reinforcing the handwritten cadence; the numerals match the script’s rounded, pen-drawn character.
