A relaxed, monoline cursive with a rightward slant and softly rounded terminals. Strokes keep an even, pen-like thickness with minimal contrast, forming open bowls and generous curves. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with occasional lifted joins and airy counters that keep words readable. Ascenders and descenders are long and elastic, and the overall rhythm feels slightly bouncy due to varied letter widths and freehand irregularities.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where an informal, handwritten voice is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social media graphics, and lifestyle packaging. It can also work for headings or pull quotes in editorial contexts, especially when paired with a clean sans for body text.
The tone is warm and personable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its looping shapes and buoyant motion give it a lighthearted, friendly character that feels informal and human rather than polished or formal.
Designed to emulate friendly, legible cursive handwriting with a smooth, flowing baseline and simple monoline construction. The intent appears to balance charm and readability, delivering a casual script that feels natural in both single words and longer phrases.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified script capitals with prominent loops and swashes on a few letters, adding a decorative touch without becoming overly ornate. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and open curves that match the letterforms’ smooth flow.
