A casual handwritten script with a monoline feel and softly rounded terminals. Strokes run with a gentle rightward slant and a lively, bouncy baseline that gives the letters an uneven, human rhythm. Forms are compact and tall, with narrow proportions, tight counters, and simplified joins that alternate between partial connections and small pen lifts. Capitals are simple and upright in structure, while lowercase shows more looped construction in letters like g, j, y, and z, producing an informal, sketch-pen texture.
Well suited to short, expressive text in greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, and quote-based layouts where a personal voice is desired. It can also work for packaging accents, product tags, and craft or DIY branding, especially at display sizes where the handwritten details read clearly.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its irregular rhythm and looping descenders add a playful energy that feels personable rather than polished.
Likely intended to emulate quick, natural handwriting with a clean, consistent stroke while keeping enough irregularity to feel authentic. The design prioritizes friendliness and spontaneity over formal calligraphic refinement.
Ascenders and descenders are long relative to the x-height, and several glyphs feature distinctive single-stroke constructions (notably the looped Q and the narrow, open shapes of C and S). Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded curves and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the informal character.
