A lively handwritten script with unconnected, italicized letterforms and a gently bouncing baseline. Strokes are smooth and rounded with low contrast, finishing in soft hooks, loops, and occasional teardrop terminals. Capitals are notably decorative and varied, with generous swashes and curled entries, while lowercase stays compact with a short x-height and open, simplified counters. Overall spacing and character widths feel organic rather than strictly uniform, reinforcing a drawn, calligraphic rhythm.
It suits short to medium-length display settings where a handcrafted, personable voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, packaging labels, headlines, and pull quotes. The decorative capitals and lively rhythm make it especially effective for titles and branded phrases, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous line spacing to keep the texture airy.
The font reads cheerful and slightly old-fashioned, with a storybook charm driven by its loops and friendly curves. Its expressive capitals add a sense of personality and flourish, giving text a warm, handcrafted tone without feeling overly formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a neat, calligraphic hand with extra charm in the uppercase, balancing legibility with decorative motion. Its consistent rounded stroke endings and subtle flourishes suggest a focus on friendly display typography rather than strict pen-accurate calligraphy.
Several forms feature distinctive curled terminals and looped details (especially in capitals), which become prominent at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic, with soft curves and occasional ornamental turns that match the alphabet’s playful cadence.
