A loose, handwritten script with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Forms are open and spacious, with generous sidebearings and a slightly bouncy baseline that keeps the rhythm informal. Uppercase letters are simple and linear with occasional hooked or tapered starts, while lowercase includes soft loops and quick, pen-like joins that suggest fast writing rather than carefully drawn calligraphy. Numerals are similarly relaxed, mixing straight strokes with rounded bowls and open curves for an overall light, sketchy texture.
Well-suited for short-to-medium phrases in greeting cards, invitations, social posts, lifestyle branding, and light packaging where a personal handwritten voice is desired. It works best at display sizes, where the open loops and generous spacing can be appreciated without the strokes feeling too fine.
The font reads as personal and conversational, like a quick note or seen-it-on-paper marker writing. Its airy spacing and casual loops give it an approachable, optimistic tone, leaning playful without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive handwriting: quick strokes, relaxed proportions, and a friendly, informal cadence. The intent appears to emphasize authenticity and approachability over strict uniformity, creating a natural note-taking feel in both headlines and short text blocks.
Connections between letters appear intermittent in running text, so words can alternate between lightly joined and separately written shapes. The overall color stays even due to consistent stroke thickness, and the open shapes help maintain legibility at larger sizes, while the delicate construction can feel fragile when reduced.
