A lively handwritten script with a monoline feel and gently rounded terminals. Letters lean forward with a loose, bouncy baseline and variable letter widths that give the text an organic rhythm. Strokes are smooth and slightly brush- or marker-like, with simple joins and occasional lifted connections between letters rather than continuous linking. Capitals are tall and airy, while lowercase forms stay compact with modest ascenders and descenders, keeping word shapes light and flowing.
Works well for short to medium-length display text where a human touch is desired, such as social graphics, invitations, greeting cards, labels, café menus, and casual branding. It can also serve as a secondary accent face paired with a clean sans for contrast in posters or editorial layouts.
The font conveys an upbeat, personable tone—like quick note-taking with a good pen. Its relaxed pacing and soft curves read as friendly and informal, adding warmth without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate natural cursive handwriting with a clean, legible stroke and an energetic forward slant. The emphasis is on approachability and spontaneity—capturing the charm of hand-drawn lettering while staying readable in common display sizes.
Spacing appears intentionally open for a handwriting style, helping individual letters remain distinct in longer lines of text. Numerals follow the same casual, rounded construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters for mixed content.
