A fluid, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and lively, pen-like stroke behavior. Letterforms are built from smooth loops and open curves with occasional tapered terminals, giving a lightly brushed, calligraphic feel. Proportions are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders and small counters that create a tight, vertical rhythm. Connections are implied by cursive construction, but many characters read as clean, standalone forms, keeping the texture legible and uncluttered in words.
Well suited for short to medium display text where a human, conversational voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, product packaging, and pull quotes. It can also work for simple branding accents and labels when paired with a calmer sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like neat everyday handwriting used for notes, cards, and small headlines. Its looping forms and quick, confident gestures add a cheerful, personable character without feeling overly ornate or formal.
Designed to capture an approachable cursive handwriting look with clean, repeatable forms and a steady rhythm. The intent appears to balance charm and legibility by using smooth loops, restrained ornament, and clear word shapes for everyday display use.
Capitals are expressive and slightly larger-than-life, with generous entry/exit strokes that add momentum at word starts. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and simple, readable construction that fits comfortably alongside the lowercase.
