A casual handwritten script with thick, rounded strokes and a brush-pen feel. Letterforms show a gentle, bouncy baseline and slightly irregular rhythm, with soft terminals and frequent looped joins in the lowercase. Uppercase characters are simple and upright with minimal flourishes, pairing cleanly with the more connected lowercase. Counters are compact and curves are generous, producing a dense, dark texture that stays legible while retaining hand-drawn personality.
This font suits short to medium-length display text where a personable, handcrafted voice is desired—such as packaging callouts, posters, social media graphics, invitations, and greeting cards. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick marker lettering on a card or note. Its lively loops and buoyant spacing read as upbeat and personable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an easygoing, hand-lettered look with consistent stroke weight and simple, readable forms, balancing casual charm with practical legibility in display sizes.
Lowercase characters often connect naturally, while some joins break depending on the letter shape, keeping an authentic handwritten cadence. Numerals are rounded and friendly, matching the same soft, brushy stroke endings seen in the alphabet.
