A monoline, handwritten script with a gentle rightward slant and smooth, continuous strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded bowls and soft turns, with frequent looped ascenders/descenders and a relaxed, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Proportions favor tall ascenders and long extenders over the compact lowercase body, while spacing remains open enough to keep words readable despite the flowing joins. Capitals are simple and handwritten in spirit—taller, lightly flourished, and designed to lead into the cursive texture rather than dominate it.
Well-suited for short to medium-length copy where a personal touch is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, and lifestyle branding. It also works nicely for packaging accents and social media headings where an airy, handwritten tone can stand out without heavy visual weight.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its light, flowing motion and rounded forms give it a gentle, approachable character with a hint of whimsy, making text feel conversational rather than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate tidy, flowing pen handwriting with an emphasis on lightness and continuous motion. It prioritizes a friendly cursive texture and straightforward letterforms that stay legible while still feeling naturally written.
Connections between letters are generally smooth and consistent, with occasional lifted joins that add a natural hand-drawn cadence. Numerals follow the same looping logic and rounded terminals, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
