A lively handwritten script with a right-leaning stance, smooth rounded curves, and a mostly monoline-to-gently modulated stroke. Letterforms show a bouncy baseline and compact proportions, with tall ascenders and occasional deep descenders that add rhythm. Terminals are soft and slightly tapered, and many joins are continuous, giving words a flowing, connected texture while still allowing some letters to read as loosely separated. Numerals follow the same informal, drawn-with-a-pen feel, with simple shapes and consistent stroke color.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, packaging copy, social posts, invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The font conveys an upbeat, personal tone—like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, labels, or cheerful headlines. Its looping forms and buoyant movement feel warm and informal rather than polished or ceremonial.
Designed to emulate relaxed cursive writing with a smooth, flowing motion and a personable, contemporary feel. The emphasis appears to be on charm and immediacy—legible, decorative handwriting that adds warmth without becoming overly ornate.
Consistency comes from repeated loop structures and rounded counters, while small variations in width and connection create a natural hand-drawn cadence. The capitals are tall and gestural, functioning as expressive entry strokes that stand out well at display sizes.
