A brush-pen script with lively, slightly slanted strokes and a rhythmic mix of thick downstrokes and finer connecting strokes. Letterforms are rounded and soft at the terminals, with frequent looped joins and occasional open connections that keep the texture airy. Capitals are tall and gestural, while the lowercase maintains a compact body with prominent ascenders and descenders; spacing is moderately tight to support a flowing, handwritten line. Numerals follow the same drawn, calligraphic logic, with smooth curves and varied stroke emphasis.
Well-suited for short to medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, product labels, café menus, greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics. It can work for pull quotes and headlines, while longer passages benefit from generous size and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick but confident hand-lettering for personal notes or craft labeling. Its energetic bounce and brush texture give it a cheerful, personable feel rather than a polished, formal script.
Designed to emulate modern brush calligraphy with an easygoing, handwritten spontaneity. The goal appears to be a versatile script that feels personal and expressive while remaining readable in common display applications.
Stroke contrast appears to come from a simulated brush angle and pressure, producing thicker verticals and heavier turns. Several uppercase forms read more like decorative initials than text capitals, which increases personality but can make long all-caps settings feel busy. In paragraph-like samples, the font maintains a consistent baseline flow with a slightly irregular, natural cadence.
