A casual script with a brush-pen feel, showing smooth, rounded strokes and slightly tapered terminals. Letterforms lean consistently and keep an even, flowing rhythm, with many characters joining naturally while still leaving small breaks in places. Strokes stay relatively clean and uniform, with modest contrast that reads like pressure variation rather than a formal calligraphic model. Proportions are compact and tall, with ascending/descending forms adding a buoyant vertical movement across words.
Works best for short to medium display text where a personal, hand-signed feeling is desirable—such as social posts, invitations, greeting cards, packaging callouts, and quote-style headlines. It can also serve as an accent face alongside a neutral sans or serif in branding and editorial layouts.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick but confident handwriting. Its relaxed curves and gentle bounce give it an upbeat, personable character suited to friendly messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to capture a natural, everyday cursive voice with consistent slant and smooth brush-like strokes, aiming for readability while preserving an authentic handwritten charm.
Capitals are simplified and loop-leaning, pairing smoothly with the lowercase without looking overly ornate. Rounded bowls and open counters keep the texture light, while the numerals match the same handwritten cadence for cohesive mixed text.
