A lively handwritten script with a slightly right-leaning stance and a smooth, brush-pen rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monoline with softly swollen curves and rounded terminals, producing an even, inky color without sharp contrast. Letterforms are compact and upright in their proportions, with simplified joins and occasional disconnections that keep the texture airy rather than tightly linked. Counters are open and generous, and the overall spacing feels naturally irregular in a controlled, readable way.
Well-suited for short to medium text where a human, handcrafted voice is desirable—logos and small brand marks, packaging callouts, café or craft signage, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes that benefit from a relaxed, friendly script texture.
The font communicates an informal, personable tone—like quick marker lettering on a note, label, or menu board. Its rounded shapes and elastic curves feel cheerful and conversational, lending a handmade warmth without becoming overly decorative or precious.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand lettering with consistent stroke behavior and clear forms, balancing spontaneity with enough structure for comfortable reading. The goal appears to be a versatile everyday script that feels personal and upbeat across a range of display applications.
Capitals are simple and gesture-driven, pairing well with the lowercase without overpowering it. Descenders and entry/exit strokes are relatively long and fluid, adding movement to lines of text. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded bowls and gentle angles that match the letter rhythm.
