A tall, slender handwritten script with a clean, upright posture and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes swing between fine hairlines and heavier downstrokes, with rounded terminals and occasional teardrop-like ends that emphasize a calligraphic pen feel. Uppercase forms are simplified and narrow, mixing printed structure with subtle cursive inflections, while lowercase letters lean more fluid, showing looped ascenders, compact bowls, and long, curling descenders (notably in g, j, y, and z). Spacing is relatively open for a script, keeping counters clear and giving lines an airy texture even at larger sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display text such as packaging titles, greeting cards, invitations, café menus, and boutique branding. The open spacing and clear forms help it stay readable in larger sizes, especially for cheerful headlines and accent copy where a handcrafted tone is desired.
The font reads as personable and lighthearted—more boutique and crafty than formal. Its bouncy proportions and looping details add charm and a sense of human touch, while the upright stance keeps it neat and approachable rather than romantic or dramatic.
Likely intended to provide a polished handwritten voice that feels charming and personal while remaining tidy and legible. The combination of narrow, upright forms and playful loops suggests a display script built for friendly branding and decorative typography rather than continuous long-form reading.
The design mixes script behavior with semi-printed capitals, which can create a casual headline look when set in title case. Numerals appear similarly narrow and hand-drawn, with simple shapes and a consistent vertical emphasis that matches the letterforms.
