A casual script with a brush-pen feel, built from mostly rounded, slightly tapered strokes and soft terminals. Letterforms are tall and slim with a lively, uneven rhythm and gently varying character widths that mimic natural handwriting. Curves dominate, with frequent loops in letters like g, y, and j, plus smooth shoulder shapes in m and n; joins are generally fluid but not rigidly continuous across every pair, keeping the texture informal. Capitals are simplified and upright with handwritten irregularities, while numerals are clean, narrow, and lightly curved to match the script tone.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, and casual branding where an informal handwritten tone is desired. It works especially well in short headlines, quotes, social graphics, and packaging accents, and can also serve as a friendly secondary script paired with a simple sans for body text.
The font reads warm and personable, with a lighthearted, everyday note-taking energy. Its bouncy loops and soft curves give it an upbeat, conversational voice that feels handmade rather than polished or formal.
Designed to capture the look of quick, neat cursive written with a brush pen—upright, compact, and loop-driven—while staying readable in display sizes. The simplified capitals and smooth, rounded construction aim for a versatile handwritten script that feels natural and welcoming across a range of casual applications.
Stroke edges appear smooth and consistent, suggesting a controlled brush/marker simulation rather than rough texture. Counters are relatively open for a script, helping legibility in short phrases, while the narrow build and tight internal spacing can create a compact, chatty color in longer lines.
