A lively brush-script with rounded terminals and visibly pressure-shaped strokes. Letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline rhythm, mixing smooth curves with occasional sharper entry/exit flicks. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and slightly irregular joins that reinforce a hand-drawn feel, while counters stay open enough to keep words readable. Uppercase forms are simplified and tall, pairing comfortably with a loopier, more connected lowercase.
Works best at display sizes for headlines, logos, product packaging, posters, and social graphics where a personable, handcrafted voice is desired. It can also suit short pull quotes or invitations, but longer paragraphs may benefit from generous line spacing to keep the lively rhythm from feeling busy.
The tone is warm and upbeat, like quick marker or brush lettering used for personal notes and cheerful headlines. Its informal motion and soft shapes communicate approachability and spontaneity rather than formality or precision.
Designed to emulate confident brush handwriting with a smooth, modern script flow. The goal appears to be an energetic, friendly texture that feels human and spontaneous while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, and the rounded dots and terminals add softness. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and smooth curves that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
