A lively brush-script with rounded terminals and a lightly textured, hand-drawn edge. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with heavier downstrokes and slimmer connecting strokes that create an energetic rhythm. Letterforms are mostly upright with gentle slant variation, compact proportions, and a relatively low x-height against tall ascenders/descenders. Connections appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, giving a written-by-hand feel while maintaining consistent spacing and legible counters.
Well-suited for short to medium-length copy where personality matters—logos, boutique branding, packaging, café menus, greeting cards, invites, and promotional headlines. It can also work for quotes and social graphics when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a buoyant, informal cadence that feels approachable and slightly nostalgic. Its brushy movement and soft curves suggest spontaneity and charm rather than formality.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with a controlled, repeatable system: expressive contrast, rounded forms, and occasional joins that preserve a natural handwritten flow while staying broadly legible in display settings.
Capitals are decorative and slightly more flamboyant, helping create clear entry points for headings. Numerals follow the same brush logic and remain readable, though their stylistic curves make them feel more expressive than neutral. The texture and contrast can create a bit of visual sparkle in longer lines, especially at smaller sizes.
