A casual handwritten script with a monoline feel and gently irregular stroke edges that preserve a drawn-by-hand texture. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders/descenders and compact counters, giving the line a vertical, wiry rhythm. Curves are loose and slightly bouncy, with rounded terminals and occasional hook-like starts and finishes; joins appear intermittent, so words read as a semi-connected cursive rather than a continuous single stroke. Overall spacing is airy, and the character set keeps a consistent informal slant-free posture while allowing natural variation from glyph to glyph.
Well-suited to branding accents, packaging, posters, and social graphics where an informal handwritten voice is desirable. It works best at display sizes for quotes, headings, and short passages where its narrow, tall rhythm and lively loops can be appreciated.
The font conveys an easygoing, personable tone—more like quick marker notes or journaling than formal calligraphy. Its light, springy rhythm feels upbeat and approachable, adding warmth and spontaneity to short messages and display lines.
The design appears intended to capture quick, natural handwriting in a tidy, repeatable form—balancing legibility with the spontaneity and charm of hand-drawn strokes for contemporary, friendly communication.
Capitals are simple and gestural, designed to stand out with taller strokes and minimal ornament, while lowercase forms lean into looped features on letters like g, y, and j. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with straightforward, legible shapes that match the narrow, vertical proportions.
