A lively, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes stay fairly even with gently tapered terminals, and the letterforms lean forward with an elastic, bouncy rhythm. Capitals are tall and slightly flourished, while lowercase forms are compact with long ascenders/descenders and occasional looped strokes. Overall spacing is airy and the outlines retain a natural hand-drawn irregularity that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanical.
Works well for short to medium display text where a personal, hand-lettered voice is desired—such as branding accents, packaging callouts, social media graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and quote-style headlines. It’s best used at sizes where the loops and narrow counters remain clear.
The font reads as informal and approachable, with a spontaneous, note-to-self energy. Its buoyant movement and soft terminals give it a warm, upbeat tone suited to conversational messaging rather than formal prose.
Designed to capture quick, confident handwriting in a clean script style—balancing readability with expressive movement for modern, friendly display typography.
Connections between letters appear intermittent rather than continuously joined, reinforcing an authentic handwriting flow. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open shapes and simple, gestural construction that matches the script’s rhythm.
