A slim, monoline cursive with a gently bouncy baseline and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes keep an even weight with rounded terminals and frequent loop constructions, especially in capitals and in letters with ascenders/descenders. Uppercase forms read like simplified script initials with open bowls and soft curves, while lowercase maintains a compact x-height and long, graceful extenders that add vertical rhythm. Figures are similarly slender and open, matching the handwritten flow rather than a rigid, geometric structure.
Works well for short display lines where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, labels, packaging accents, and social media graphics. It’s especially effective for names, headings, and short quotes where the distinctive capitals can carry the personality without relying on long passages of text.
The overall tone is personable and lighthearted, with a tidy handwritten charm. Its looping forms and narrow, tall rhythm give it a playful, note-like feel that stays neat rather than messy or gritty.
Designed to emulate a neat, everyday cursive hand with decorative, looped capitals and a consistent pen-like stroke. The intent appears to be an approachable script that feels personal and crafted while remaining legible in headline-sized settings.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, with prominent loops and swashes that can become focal points at the start of words. Spacing feels relatively open for a script style, helping the thin strokes stay clear, while the strong verticality can make lines look elegant but slightly compressed in width.
