A lively brush-script with pronounced stroke modulation, pairing bold downstrokes with fine hairline connections and entry strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline and slightly variable rhythm, creating an organic, handwritten flow. Counters are relatively open for a script style, while terminals often taper to pointed or softly rounded ends. Ascenders are prominent and many letters include generous loops and swashes, especially in capitals and in forms like g, y, and z.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its brush contrast and expressive loops can be appreciated—such as logos, boutique branding, packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works well for pull quotes and headers, while dense paragraphs may feel busy due to the script motion and contrast.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, balancing a modern, stylish feel with an informal hand-lettered warmth. Its energetic contrasts and looping gestures give it a light, celebratory character that reads as approachable rather than formal.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush lettering with a polished, contemporary script sensibility. The goal appears to be an attention-grabbing handwritten voice that feels stylish and personal, with decorative capital forms to elevate titles and names.
Capitals are showy and more calligraphic than the lowercase, with occasional flourish-like crossbars and extended entry strokes. Numerals follow the same brush logic, mixing strong vertical strokes with airy curves, which keeps them consistent in display settings.
