A casual handwritten script with a smooth, brush-pen feel and visibly tapered terminals. Strokes alternate between slender hairlines and fuller downstrokes, creating a lively rhythm and a slightly bouncy baseline. Letterforms are mostly connected in running text, with tall ascenders, compact counters, and generous loops in characters like g, y, and z. Capitals are simplified and narrow with long verticals and minimal ornament, helping headings stay clean while still feeling hand-drawn.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, and lifestyle branding. It can also serve as an expressive display face for posters, social media graphics, and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the tapered strokes and loops have room to breathe.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, with an informal, diary-like tone. Its flowing joins and buoyant proportions give it a light, conversational energy suited to cheerful messaging rather than formal editorial work.
Designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting with readable cursive connections and a charming, imperfect cadence. The overall intention appears to balance legibility with personality, providing a casual script suitable for modern, upbeat branding and personal communication.
Connections are generally smooth but retain an organic, hand-rendered irregularity in stroke start/stop points and join thickness. Numerals follow the same drawn style, with open curves and simple construction that matches the alphabet.
