A loose, handwritten script with a monoline-to-slightly-modulated stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are rounded and open, with long, swinging ascenders and descenders and a noticeably small x-height that gives the lowercase a tall, airy posture. Curves dominate over angles, terminals taper softly, and spacing is irregular in a natural way, producing a lively baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms are simple and flowing, pairing well with the lowercase without becoming overly formal.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, quotes, invitations, social graphics, and friendly packaging or labels. It performs especially well when given generous tracking and line spacing, and when used at medium-to-large sizes where the delicate strokes and small x-height stay legible.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like quick but neat handwriting. Its light, springy motion and looping joins feel upbeat and conversational rather than polished or ceremonial.
Likely intended to capture the immediacy of casual cursive handwriting while staying readable and cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The design emphasizes lightness, motion, and personality over strict consistency, aiming for an informal, human touch in display contexts.
Connectivity is intermittent: many lowercase letters suggest cursive joins, but the flow varies by glyph, reinforcing an organic, written-by-hand feel. Numerals match the script’s light, rounded construction and remain clear at display sizes.
