A light, monoline handwritten script with a relaxed, bouncy rhythm and slightly irregular stroke flow. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous vertical reach, giving ascenders and capitals a prominent presence while lowercase stays compact. Curves are smooth and rounded, with frequent looped joins and occasional simplified, single-stroke constructions that keep the texture open and airy. Terminals tend to taper softly and the overall spacing feels loose enough to maintain clarity in short words and mixed-case settings.
Works well for short display lines such as greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, and social posts where a human touch is the goal. It can also suit light packaging or boutique branding accents, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The tone is warm and informal, like quick neat handwriting on a card or note. Its looping capitals and buoyant baseline movement add a cheerful, personable feel without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture a tidy, flowing handwritten look that feels approachable and personal, with enough consistency for repeated use while preserving natural, hand-drawn charm.
Capitals are expressive and often taller than the rest of the line, providing natural emphasis in titles. Numerals match the handwritten character with simple, rounded forms and consistent stroke weight, supporting casual display uses where a cohesive hand-drawn voice is desired.
