A lively cursive script with a rightward slant and a smooth, brush-pen feel. Strokes show gentle thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals, with frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage flowing word shapes. Proportions are compact, with tall ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm, while letterforms remain fairly narrow and slightly irregular in a natural handwritten way. Capitals are simple and loop-accented, designed to lead into lowercase rather than stand as rigid display initials.
Well suited for short to medium-length text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It performs best at display and subhead sizes where the loops and connections have room to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like neat handwriting on a card or note. Its bouncy rhythm and soft curves read as approachable and lightly playful, with a subtle romantic, boutique sensibility rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to provide a clean, legible handwritten script that feels personal and contemporary, balancing decorative loops with steady rhythm for everyday use in branding and lifestyle-oriented design.
The font keeps a consistent stroke texture across the alphabet, while preserving small variations in joins and curve tension that reinforce an authentic hand-drawn character. Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with rounded shapes and modest flair that stays readable.
