A delicate, handwritten script with a slender, monoline core and frequent looped joins. Letterforms lean gently forward with a lively, bouncing baseline and generous vertical reach, giving ascenders and capitals plenty of presence while lowercase stays compact. Strokes are smooth and continuous, with rounded terminals, open counters, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that create an easy cursive flow. Spacing feels naturally irregular in a hand-drawn way, and the numerals share the same light, loopy construction as the letters.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social posts. It can also work well for boutique packaging or small brand touchpoints where a friendly signature-like tone is helpful, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, with a soft, romantic charm. Its looping forms and relaxed rhythm suggest an informal, human voice—more like a quick handwritten note than a formal calligraphic script.
Designed to mimic quick, elegant cursive handwriting with a clean, contemporary smoothness. The emphasis appears to be on legible flow and charming loops rather than formal calligraphic contrast or rigid construction.
Capitals tend to be simple and upright-leaning with minimal ornament, while select letters introduce larger loops (notably in forms like g, j, y, and Q), adding visual flair in headlines. The thin strokes and open shapes keep the texture bright, but the lively connections can create a decorative, handwritten density in longer lines.
