A lively handwritten script with slim, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms lean forward with a springy rhythm, mixing gentle loops, occasional long ascenders/descenders, and open counters that keep words airy. Connections appear naturally in many lowercase pairs, while caps are simple and slightly oversized with a drawn-by-hand irregularity. Overall spacing is loose and the baseline feel is relaxed, giving the texture an informal, note-like flow.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, journaling-style headlines, social media graphics, and small-brand packaging. It also suits quotes, labels, and craft-oriented identities where an informal, human touch is more important than typographic formality.
The tone is warm and personable, like quick handwriting on a card or a playful caption. Its slightly quirky shapes and buoyant movement make it feel approachable rather than formal, with an upbeat, everyday energy.
Designed to mimic quick, neat handwriting with a flowing script feel while staying open and readable at display sizes. The emphasis is on personality and motion—light strokes, rounded shapes, and relaxed connections that create an inviting, conversational texture.
Uppercase forms read as uncomplicated single-stroke gestures, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through loops and tall, narrow proportions. Numerals are similarly handwritten and rounded, matching the casual texture and keeping the overall color light and open.
