A casual handwritten script with brush-pen energy and mostly monoline strokes, showing subtle pressure swelling on curves and turns. Letterforms are tall and slender, with compact counters and a relatively small lowercase body compared to long ascenders and descenders. The writing slants slightly and moves with an elastic rhythm; widths vary per glyph, and connections appear intermittently rather than strictly joining every character. Terminals are rounded and tapered, with occasional flicks and looped forms, giving the alphabet an informal, sketch-like consistency across letters and numerals.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as greeting cards, social media graphics, packaging accents, and quote layouts. It can work effectively in headings or subheads where a personal, handwritten feel is desired, especially at larger sizes where the loops and tapered turns have room to breathe.
The font conveys an easygoing, personable tone—like quick marker lettering on a note, label, or poster. Its looping strokes and lively cadence feel upbeat and approachable, leaning more expressive than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, natural handwriting with a brush-like stroke and an informal flow. The emphasis appears to be on warmth and spontaneity rather than strict calligraphic structure, providing a distinct handwritten voice for display typography.
Uppercase characters are notably tall and open, functioning well as expressive initials in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly bouncy shapes that match the script’s rhythm.
