A casual handwritten script with a slim, brush-pen feel and gently irregular stroke edges. Letters are mostly unconnected but share a consistent cursive rhythm, with rounded terminals, occasional entry/exit flicks, and a slight rightward lean. Proportions are compact and tall, with small lowercase bodies and relatively prominent ascenders and descenders; counters stay open and legible at text sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same hand-drawn logic, keeping a steady visual color while allowing natural width variation from glyph to glyph.
Well-suited to short-to-medium copy where a personal, conversational voice is desired—brand accents, social graphics, packaging callouts, invitations, and quote-style headlines. It also works for captions and subheads when paired with a neutral sans for structure.
The tone is warm and informal, like quick journaling or a neat marker note. Its lively loops and subtle bounce add a lighthearted, personable character without feeling overly decorative.
Designed to mimic quick, confident handwriting with a clean brush-pen texture—prioritizing friendliness, speed, and readability over formal calligraphy. The forms aim for a natural written cadence that feels authentic in contemporary lifestyle and craft-oriented contexts.
Capitals are simplified and airy, avoiding heavy swashes, while select lowercase forms use looped descenders that add motion in running text. The overall texture remains even, with small, human irregularities that read as intentional rather than messy.
