A lively handwritten script with brush-pen energy and rounded terminals. Strokes show subtle modulation from pressure, with slightly irregular curves and an intentionally uneven rhythm that keeps it human. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight sidebearings, a small x-height relative to prominent ascenders/descenders, and simple joins that sometimes connect and sometimes break for readability. Overall texture is dark and energetic, with soft curves, occasional loops, and a gently bouncing baseline.
Works best in short to medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, product labels, headlines, pull quotes, greeting cards, and social media graphics. Its compact, tall shapes help it fit tight spaces while still reading clearly at display sizes.
The font reads as approachable and informal, like quick marker lettering for notes, packaging, or social content. Its bouncy proportions and soft, rounded forms give it a cheerful, personable tone that feels more conversational than polished.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident brush handwriting in a clean digital form, balancing expressive loops and casual irregularity with enough consistency for repeated use in titles and branded phrases.
Uppercase characters are simplified and narrow, pairing comfortably with the lowercase without overpowering it. Numerals match the handwritten voice, staying rounded and compact to maintain consistent color in mixed text.
