A casual handwritten script with a smooth, pen-like stroke and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms lean subtly and flow with frequent joins, mixing simple loops with open counters for an airy rhythm. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with tall ascenders and descenders, and spacing varies slightly as in natural handwriting. Capitals are simplified and slightly larger, with a few more pronounced strokes, while numerals keep the same informal, single-stroke feel.
Works well for short to medium-length copy where an informal, human voice is desired—cards, invitations, journaling-style layouts, social media graphics, and friendly packaging. It can also serve as an accent face for quotes or headings when paired with a clean text font.
The font feels conversational and approachable, like quick notes written with a fine marker or gel pen. Its relaxed rhythm and soft curves give it a lighthearted, personal tone suited to friendly messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to emulate quick, legible cursive handwriting with a light, flowing stroke and uncomplicated shapes. The emphasis appears to be on warmth and readability while preserving the small irregularities that signal a natural, hand-written origin.
Connections between letters are common but not rigidly uniform, which adds to the hand-drawn authenticity. Several lowercase forms use looped ascenders/descenders (notably in letters like g, j, y), and the overall baseline has a mild, natural wobble that reads as genuine handwriting in longer text.
