A lively connected script with tall, narrow proportions and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thin hairlines and fuller downstrokes that mimic pen pressure, and terminals often finish in small hooks or soft teardrop-like ends. Ascenders are long and slightly elastic, while the lowercase is compact, producing a relatively small x-height and lots of vertical emphasis. Capitals are decorative but legible, using looped entry strokes and gentle swashes without becoming overly complex, and figures follow the same handwritten logic with simple, rounded forms.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where the connected script can shine—such as invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, café menus, and boutique brand marks. It also works well for pull quotes or social graphics when given enough size and breathing room for the thin strokes and tight rhythm to stay clear.
The overall tone is cheerful and personal, like neat hand-lettering for notes, invitations, and boutique branding. Its looping joins and soft terminals read as warm and slightly whimsical, while the controlled contrast keeps it from feeling messy.
Designed to capture the look of polished, everyday cursive handwriting with a touch of flourish—balancing decorative capitals and looped joins with a consistent, readable texture for practical display use.
Connectivity is consistent through most of the lowercase, with occasional simplified joins that help maintain readability in longer phrases. Spacing is relatively tight and vertical, and the narrow silhouette gives words a compact, elegant footprint even when the letterforms are highly cursive.
