A casual, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and mostly smooth, rounded strokes. Letterforms show gentle swelling through curves and terminals, with softly tapered ends that mimic lifted pen strokes. The design keeps an upright stance while allowing noticeable natural variation in widths and letter shapes, creating an uneven, human rhythm. Counters are open and simplified, ascenders are tall and narrow, and several capitals use looped or hooked entry/exit strokes that add flair without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, stickers and packaging, social media graphics, and casual branding touchpoints. It also works well for headings, pull quotes, and signature-style accents where personality is more important than strict uniformity.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, like quick marker lettering on a note or label. Its lively bounce and informal irregularities give it a personable, conversational quality that feels handmade rather than polished or corporate.
The font appears designed to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive note-writing while remaining clear enough for common display text. Its restrained contrast and rounded brush terminals aim to balance charm and legibility, offering a confident, modern handmade look.
Capitals tend to be more decorative and elongated than the lowercase, with occasional looped constructions and prominent vertical strokes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and rounded with slight stroke modulation for a cohesive, drawn-by-hand texture.
