A flowing handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, brush-pen-like modulation. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but show subtle swelling and tapering, especially on entry/exit strokes and at turns, creating a lively rhythm. Letterforms are narrow with rounded counters and frequent loops, and capitals are taller with simple, open constructions that read clearly at display sizes. Spacing is compact and the baseline movement feels slightly buoyant, giving words a continuous, cursive texture without heavy joining in every pair.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is needed—logos, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, social posts, and quote graphics. It can also work for headers or pull-quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a light, breezy charm that feels conversational rather than formal. Its looping forms and gentle swashes suggest a cheerful, handmade sensibility suited to approachable branding and upbeat messaging.
Designed to emulate neat, modern cursive handwriting with enough consistency for repeated use, balancing charm and legibility through narrow proportions, controlled loops, and restrained flourish.
Numerals are simple and handwritten in character, matching the script’s light stroke behavior and rounded terminals. Ascenders are prominent relative to the lowercase body, and the lowercase shows a clean, uncluttered cursive flow that keeps longer text looking tidy.
