A casual script with a brush-pen feel, featuring tapered entry and exit strokes and noticeable thick–thin modulation. Forms are slightly right-leaning with a loose baseline rhythm and rounded turns, while ascenders and descenders are long and expressive. Letterfit is airy, with relatively narrow proportions and open counters that help keep words from feeling dense. Stroke terminals vary between soft hooks and flicks, giving the alphabet a drawn, spontaneous texture while remaining consistent enough for continuous reading.
Well-suited to short-to-medium lines of display text where a personable handwritten tone is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, packaging labels, social posts, and pull-quote graphics. It also works nicely for headings and accent text paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is approachable and playful, like neat handwriting used for notes, invites, and personal labeling. The looping strokes and bouncy movement add warmth and informality, suggesting a light, upbeat personality rather than a formal calligraphic voice.
Designed to mimic friendly, everyday handwriting with a brushy texture and flowing movement, balancing expressiveness with legibility. The intent appears to be a versatile informal script that feels personal and handcrafted while staying coherent across mixed-case text and numerals.
Several capitals use simplified, single-stroke constructions that read quickly at display sizes, and many lowercase letters show gentle connecting tendencies without rigidly enforcing full joins. Numerals share the same tapered, handwritten logic, with curved bowls and soft terminals that match the script rhythm.
