A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are slightly irregular and organic, with a springy baseline rhythm and compact proportions that keep words feeling tight and quick. Letterforms mix simple cursive joins with occasional separated strokes, and the caps are tall and expressive with looped entries and varied widths that reinforce the hand-drawn character.
Well suited for short to medium display text where a personable, handcrafted voice is desired—such as quotes, invitations, greeting cards, labels, packaging accents, and social media graphics. It can also work for headers and pull quotes when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and informal, reading like personal notes or cheerful signage. Its energetic curves and occasional quirks add personality and approachability without becoming overly ornamental.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of casual cursive handwriting with a brush-like stroke, prioritizing charm and rhythm over strict geometric consistency. The expressive capitals and lively contrast aim to add a friendly, human tone to display typography.
The uppercase set is especially distinctive, with tall, narrow silhouettes and loop-like gestures that create strong word-shape identity. Numerals and lowercase show consistent brush contrast, and rounded bowls and smooth curves help maintain clarity despite the intentionally uneven, handwritten texture.
