A lively, brush-pen script with an upright-to-slightly slanted rhythm and rounded, swelling strokes. Letterforms show gentle baseline bounce, compact counters, and softly tapered terminals that mimic pressure changes from a marker or brush. Uppercase characters are tall and narrow with simplified, handwritten construction, while lowercase forms stay compact with looped ascenders and occasional open joins, creating a loose, conversational texture rather than strict connectivity. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight that keeps the set cohesive in display sizes.
Well-suited for branding and packaging that aims to feel handmade, as well as social graphics, invitations, and short headline or quote treatments. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes where the brush texture and playful construction remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick hand-lettering on packaging or a note card. Its buoyant curves and slightly quirky proportions read as upbeat and personable, leaning more crafty and everyday than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture an energetic, hand-lettered brush look that feels personal and contemporary. The intent appears to prioritize charm and immediacy over strict uniformity, giving text a friendly, human signature in display contexts.
Spacing feels naturally uneven in a deliberate, handwritten way, which adds charm but also creates a textured line color. The capitals are expressive and condensed, making them stand out in titles, while the lowercase maintains a steady, rounded flow that supports longer phrases in short bursts.
