A lively handwritten script with tall ascenders, compact lowercase bodies, and a rhythmic mix of thick-and-thin strokes that mimics pressure from a brush pen. The letterforms are slightly condensed with rounded terminals, generous loops (notably in forms like g, y, and z), and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a loosely connected flow. Capitals are simplified and upright, often starting with a vertical stem and a soft curve, while the overall line texture alternates between bold downstrokes and hairline joins for a crisp, high-contrast pattern.
It works well for short-to-medium display copy where personality is more important than strict uniformity—headlines, quotes, stationery, gift tags, and branded craft packaging. The strong contrast and narrow proportions help it stay punchy at larger sizes, while the compact lowercase suggests avoiding very small text or dense paragraphs.
The font reads warm and personable, like quick hand-lettering for notes, labels, and DIY projects. Its bounce, looping joins, and brushy contrast give it an upbeat, informal tone that feels welcoming rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture a natural brush-script handwriting feel with clear upright structure and expressive loops, balancing legibility with an informal, hand-made charm. The forms prioritize a smooth, flowing rhythm suitable for cheerful display typography rather than formal calligraphy.
Spacing appears intentionally a bit irregular, with natural-looking width variation across letters and occasional heavier stroke patches that add hand-made character. Numerals follow the same brush-contrast logic and stay upright and legible, matching the script’s casual rhythm.
