A loose, handwritten script with a right-leaning, brush-pen feel and softly rounded terminals. Strokes show subtle pressure modulation—thicker downstrokes and lighter hairline connections—without becoming formally calligraphic. Letterforms are wide and relaxed, with variable glyph widths and generous horizontal rhythm; counters stay open and curves are smooth rather than sharply pointed. Joins appear intermittently in lowercase, creating a semi-connected flow that reads like quick marker writing rather than tightly linked cursive. Numerals match the casual, slightly irregular baseline behavior and maintain the same airy spacing and rounded stroke endings.
This font suits short to medium-length text where a human, personal tone is desired—such as branding lines, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works well for headings and pull quotes that benefit from an expressive, handwritten presence.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a quick note written with a felt-tip pen. Its bouncy rhythm and relaxed joins give it a playful, conversational energy, while the wide shapes keep it open and approachable.
The design appears intended to mimic natural, everyday handwriting with a brush or marker—balancing spontaneity with enough consistency to stay readable. Its wide, relaxed letterforms and semi-connected flow aim to communicate warmth and approachability rather than formality.
Capitals are simple and gestural, often beginning with a slight lead-in stroke that helps words feel continuous. Descenders and ascenders are modest and rounded, and the punctuation-like dots (as seen on i/j in the sample) are small and neatly placed, supporting legibility in longer phrases.
