A casual handwritten script with brush-pen modulation and softly rounded terminals. Strokes show gentle thick–thin variation and occasional tapering, with a slightly bouncy baseline and uneven, natural rhythm that keeps it from feeling mechanical. Letterforms are compact and tall-leaning, with smooth curves, open bowls, and frequent looped joins that suggest continuous writing even when characters don’t fully connect. Counters stay fairly open and the overall texture is lively, with subtle stroke wobble that reinforces the hand-drawn character.
Works well for short to medium text in applications where a personal, handwritten feel is desirable—such as logos, product packaging, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, posters, and social graphics. It’s most effective at larger sizes where the stroke texture and looping forms can be clearly appreciated.
The tone is warm and personable, leaning playful and conversational rather than formal. Its flowing loops and buoyant rhythm give it a friendly, upbeat voice that feels suitable for informal messaging and lighthearted branding.
Designed to emulate quick, confident brush lettering with a natural, human cadence. The consistent softness of curves, modest contrast, and lively spacing aim to deliver an approachable script voice that feels authentic and informal.
Capitals read as simplified, handwritten display forms with prominent curves and occasional flourish, while lowercase letters carry the main cursive flow through looped ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same brushy construction with rounded shapes and a casual, handwritten cadence that matches the alphabet.
