A slender handwritten script with a gently right-slanted, pen-drawn feel and mostly monoline strokes with subtle contrast. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous vertical reach, featuring long ascenders/descenders and frequent looped constructions (notably in b, f, g, y, and z). Connections are implied by cursive structure but many characters remain semi-joined, giving the line a light, breathable rhythm. Curves are smooth and rounded, terminals are tapered and soft, and the overall texture stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as social posts, invitations, packaging accents, greeting cards, and pull quotes. It performs best at display sizes or with comfortable tracking, where the narrow, tall forms and delicate strokes remain clear.
The font reads as relaxed and personable, with an upbeat, informal tone that feels approachable rather than formal or ceremonial. Its looping strokes and springy vertical motion add a hint of whimsy while remaining clean enough for contemporary branding.
Designed to capture an easygoing handwritten script that balances legibility with expressive loops and a lively vertical rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on creating a modern, lightweight cursive for friendly headlines and signature-style accents rather than dense text setting.
Uppercase letters are simplified and upright-to-slanted with open counters and minimal flourish, while lowercase forms carry more of the cursive personality through loops and elongated strokes. Numerals are slim and simple, matching the handwritten cadence and maintaining a coherent color when set in text.
