A lively handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, featuring tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are rounded and slightly bouncy, with smooth curves, occasional loops, and a subtly irregular rhythm that preserves a natural hand-drawn character. Uppercase forms are tall and simplified with soft terminals, while lowercase includes flowing ascenders/descenders and compact counters; numerals match the same informal, curved construction.
Well-suited for short headlines, brand marks, invitations, greeting cards, and packaging where a personal, hand-signed feel is desired. It also works nicely for pull quotes and social graphics at moderate-to-large sizes where the stroke contrast and lively rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, personable energy that reads like neat, contemporary handwriting. Its lively stroke contrast and looping forms add charm and a lightly whimsical flavor without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate casual brush handwriting with an upbeat cadence—balancing legibility with expressive, human variation. The forms aim to feel handcrafted and personable, giving text a friendly, informal voice.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and organic, with letters that can read as lightly connected in running text while still maintaining clear individual shapes. The dot on the i/j is small and round, and several capitals use open, single-stroke gestures that enhance the informal, hand-lettered impression.
