A casual handwritten script with a brush-pen feel, built from rounded strokes that taper gently at ends and thicken on curves. Letterforms lean forward and keep a lively, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm, with modest joining between many lowercase characters and occasional pen-lift separation. Capitals are simple and open, while descenders (g, j, y) extend in long, looping forms that add vertical movement. Overall spacing is a bit irregular in an intentional, hand-drawn way, creating a warm texture in words and short lines.
Well-suited to short, expressive copy such as greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social media headers, and casual branding. It can also work for light packaging or label text where a handmade tone is desired, especially at display sizes where the loops and stroke modulation are most legible.
The font reads as upbeat and personable, like quick marker notes or a friendly card message. Its soft curves and looping descenders give it a light, playful tone without feeling overly ornate, supporting an easygoing, conversational voice.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a brush pen—prioritizing warmth, energy, and an informal personal touch over strict uniformity. The forms aim for readability in display contexts while maintaining the charming inconsistencies of real hand lettering.
Digits follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded terminals and simple constructions that match the letterforms. The script-like connections are present but not rigidly continuous, so the texture alternates between linked strokes and individual letters, reinforcing the natural, spontaneous character.
