A relaxed, monoline handwritten script with softly rounded terminals and a gentle rightward slant. Letterforms are compact with tall ascenders and descenders, creating a high-contrast of vertical proportions against a small lowercase body. Strokes keep an even thickness and show subtle pen-like tapering at some joins, with open counters and smooth, looping curves. Uppercase characters read as simplified script caps with occasional flourished entry/exit strokes, and numerals follow the same informal, hand-drawn rhythm.
Well-suited to short to medium-length text where a personal, informal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, café-style menus, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings, pull quotes, and signature-like branding elements where a friendly handwritten impression is preferred over strict typographic uniformity.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick, neat handwriting on a note or label. Its looping forms and buoyant spacing give it a light, cheerful feel that stays readable without becoming formal or ornate.
Designed to mimic tidy everyday cursive with consistent stroke weight, emphasizing warmth and legibility over calligraphic contrast. The compact lowercase and tall extenders suggest an intention to keep words narrow and lively while preserving recognizable shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Rhythm is slightly irregular in a natural way, with varied letter widths and a soft baseline bounce that reinforces the handwritten character. Connections appear in many lowercase forms, while others separate cleanly, helping maintain clarity in longer phrases.
