A flowing handwritten script with a rightward slant and a smooth, pen-drawn rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even with gentle thick–thin modulation, and terminals taper softly rather than ending bluntly. Forms are rounded and open, with frequent looped constructions (notably in capitals and ascenders) and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, writing-like texture. Proportions are compact and tall-leaning, and the overall spacing feels natural and slightly irregular in a way that reinforces the hand-rendered character.
Works well for short to medium lines where a friendly, handwritten voice is desired—such as branding accents, packaging labels, invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, and quote treatments. It is especially effective for headings, names, and pull quotes where the expressive capitals and flowing joins can be appreciated.
The tone is warm and personable, combining casual informality with a touch of refinement. Its buoyant curves and looping gestures read as upbeat and approachable, making text feel conversational and human rather than formal or mechanical.
Designed to mimic quick, confident penmanship with an emphasis on continuity and charm. The letterforms aim for readability while preserving the spontaneous movement of handwriting, using loops and soft terminals to keep the texture light and personable.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, with larger swashes and looped starts that can become a focal point at the beginning of words. Numerals echo the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and smooth curves, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed content.
