A handwritten script with a quick, brush-pen rhythm and noticeably tapered terminals. Strokes show uneven pressure and occasional ink-blob starts/finishes, giving a natural, drawn-in-one-go character. Letterforms are slender with generous ascenders and descenders, open counters, and a slightly bouncy baseline; connections appear in the lowercase flow but remain loose rather than fully joined everywhere. Capitals are tall and simplified, mixing print-like shapes with cursive gestures for a lively, informal texture.
Works well for short to medium lines where a personable, handwritten voice is desired—social graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and light branding or packaging accents. It can also support quote layouts and headings when paired with a clean sans for body text.
The overall tone is relaxed and approachable, like a neat personal note or casual packaging label. Its lively loops and varied stroke endings add a playful, human warmth without feeling overly decorative.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast, confident handwriting with brush-like modulation and a light, open feel. The goal appears to be an expressive everyday script that stays legible while maintaining a spontaneous, human-made texture.
The alphabet shows intentional irregularities—varying join lengths, occasional lifted strokes, and different entry/exit angles—that reinforce authenticity. Numerals are simple and handwritten, matching the same tapered stroke behavior for consistent rhythm in mixed text.
