A casual handwritten script with rounded terminals and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes feel marker-like and consistently heavy, with smooth curves and simplified joins that keep counters open and shapes readable. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with modest ascenders/descenders and a relatively small x-height that gives the text a lightly looped, airy feel. Capitals are simple and tall with minimal flourish, while lowercase forms lean toward cursive construction with occasional implied connections rather than fully continuous joining.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a personal, friendly tone is desired—greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, product tags, and casual packaging. It can also work for headers or pull quotes in lifestyle or educational materials when paired with a neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, evoking quick note-taking, personal messages, and crafty, homegrown design. Its uneven, hand-drawn regularity adds charm without becoming messy, giving it a cheerful and conversational voice.
Designed to capture an informal cursive handwriting look with clean, repeatable forms—friendly and expressive, but controlled enough to remain legible in common display sizes.
Round forms (like o, e, a) stay open and soft, and many strokes finish with gentle hooks that reinforce the handwritten character. Numerals match the same casual, drawn-by-hand construction and maintain the font’s compact rhythm in running text.
