A casual handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from mostly smooth, monoline-like strokes with subtle pressure-led swelling at curves and terminals. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with rounded bowls, occasional looped joins, and soft hooked entry/exit strokes that keep the rhythm lively. Uppercase characters are simplified and slightly decorative, while lowercase forms stay compact with short extenders and small, clean counters; overall spacing is loose enough to preserve the drawn-by-hand texture without becoming messy.
Works best where a friendly, handcrafted tone is desired: short headlines, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, social posts, and quote graphics. It is especially effective at larger sizes where the brushy terminals and loop details can be appreciated.
The tone is upbeat and personable, like quick signage or a handwritten note. Its buoyant curves and gentle loops create an easygoing, conversational voice that feels more spontaneous than polished.
Designed to capture the immediacy of everyday handwriting with a controlled, repeatable rhythm—balancing legibility with playful, slightly expressive forms for informal display typography.
The set shows intentional irregularities—varying stroke endings, occasional exaggerated loops (notably in letters like Q, g, and y), and a mix of printed and semi-joined forms—adding character while maintaining consistent overall proportions. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and minimal ornament.
