A lively handwritten script with smooth, rounded forms and a lightly brush-like stroke. Letterforms keep an upright stance while showing natural hand variance in width and spacing, creating an uneven, organic rhythm. Strokes feel mostly monolinear with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals are soft and slightly tapered. Many lowercase letters use simple loops and partial connections, balancing cursive flow with clear, open counters and a compact x-height.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where an informal, personal voice is desired—such as greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, café menus, and social media graphics. It can also work for small headings and pull quotes when generous line spacing is available to accommodate the tall ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a breezy, conversational energy. Its bouncy movement and informal shapes suggest personal notes, DIY charm, and lighthearted branding rather than strict formality.
Designed to emulate neat, modern handwriting with a gentle cursive flow—prioritizing friendliness and legibility while preserving the natural irregularities and bounce of a real pen or brush stroke.
Capitals are tall and simplified, pairing well with the looping lowercase without becoming overly ornamental. Ascenders and descenders are prominent, adding vertical sparkle in text, while numerals keep the same hand-drawn softness and slightly irregular proportions for a cohesive, human feel.
