A relaxed, handwritten script with monoline strokes and a consistent, pen-drawn rhythm. Letterforms lean slightly and favor tall ascenders and long, swinging descenders, giving lines of text an airy, vertical feel. Curves are rounded and open, with occasional hooked entry/exit strokes and gently tapered terminals that mimic a quick marker or felt-tip. Spacing is loose and the connections are informal—some characters join while others remain separate—creating a natural, uneven cadence without looking messy.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a personal, informal voice is desired—logos, packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics. It’s especially effective at display sizes where the tall proportions and looping strokes can breathe.
The font conveys an approachable, conversational tone, like a quick note or a friendly header on a handmade sign. Its looping forms and light touch feel upbeat and personable, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive handwriting while staying clean and legible in display use. The goal appears to be a lively, human feel with simple strokes, open shapes, and expressive capitals for emphasis.
Capitals are expressive and simplified, often built from single, continuous gestures that stand out in titles. Numerals match the handwritten logic with rounded shapes and easy readability, and punctuation maintains the same light, drawn-by-hand character.
