A lively script with brush-like construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are mostly upright with softly tapered terminals, occasional teardrop ends, and looped joins that give the letterforms a springy rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact but expressive, with subtle swashes and occasional entry/exit flourishes, while lowercase shapes keep rounded bowls and tall, narrow ascenders/descenders. Numerals are curvy and characterful, matching the same high-contrast, hand-rendered feel.
Best suited to short, display-driven settings such as headlines, logos, packaging callouts, poster titles, and greeting or invitation work. It can also support pull quotes or subheads when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its looping details.
The overall tone feels cheerful and slightly retro, like hand-lettered signage or a storybook title. Its buoyant curves and occasional flourishes convey warmth and personality more than strict formality.
Designed to emulate confident hand lettering with a brush-pen contrast and decorative loops, aiming for an approachable display script that stands out through expressive capitals and a buoyant, rhythmic lowercase.
Texture appears intentionally organic: curves aren’t mechanically uniform, and spacing has a handwritten cadence that reads best when given room. Some capitals and looped letters create prominent silhouettes, so mixed-case settings can look particularly animated.
