A casual, monoline handwritten script with rounded terminals and softly modulated curves. Strokes keep an even thickness with gently tapered joins, and the letterforms favor tall ascenders/descenders over a compact x-height, giving the line a light, airy rhythm. Many characters use open loops and simple entry/exit strokes, with a generally upright stance and slightly irregular spacing that preserves a drawn-by-hand feel. Numerals and capitals share the same smooth, simplified construction, staying legible while retaining a loose, sketchbook-like consistency.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, café menus, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work for headings and badges in kid-focused or craft-oriented branding, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a buoyant rhythm that feels informal and conversational. Its looping forms and relaxed connections suggest everyday notes, handmade labels, and lighthearted messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to capture a neat but relaxed cursive handwriting style that stays readable while retaining personality. The intent appears to balance simple monoline construction with playful loops and tall proportions to create a distinctive, human touch in display and casual text settings.
Capitals are relatively narrow and tall, often built from single-stroke gestures with occasional interior loops, which adds charm but can introduce distinctive silhouettes in all-caps settings. The lowercase shows intermittent joining behavior and varied letter widths, so word shapes feel organic and slightly uneven in a natural way.
