A casual handwritten script with a slender, monoline feel and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are gently irregular, mimicking pen movement, with lively rhythm and occasional looped forms in capitals and ascenders. Letterforms lean mostly upright with narrow proportions and compact lowercase bodies, while long ascenders/descenders and generous loops add vertical movement. Connections between letters are frequent but not rigidly continuous, keeping word shapes airy and informal. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, open forms and slightly varied widths.
Well suited for short-to-medium phrases where a friendly, handwritten voice is desired—quotes, cards, invites, product tags, and casual branding or social graphics. It can also work for section headings and pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The tone is warm and approachable, like quick notes in a journal or a handmade label. Its bouncy spacing and loopy gestures give it a lighthearted, conversational character that feels personable rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of informal pen handwriting with a consistent alphabet and a cohesive rhythm, offering a lively script look that stays legible while retaining hand-drawn charm.
Capitals are taller and more expressive, often using simple swashes and looped entries that help headings feel distinctive without becoming ornate. The overall texture stays clean and readable at display sizes, while the natural stroke variation keeps it from feeling mechanical.
