A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a right-leaning posture and a relaxed, uneven rhythm. Forms are tall and slender, with narrow oval counters and generous vertical extenders that give the alphabet an airy, high-rise silhouette. Stroke endings are soft and slightly tapered, and curves stay rounded rather than angular; joins are simple and often implied, yielding a clean, continuous feel without heavy calligraphic modulation. Uppercase letters are simple and open, while lowercase shows lively loops and occasional exaggerated descenders (notably in g, j, y, and z), maintaining an informal, hand-drawn consistency.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is needed: greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social posts, and light lifestyle branding. It can also serve as an accent script on packaging or labels, especially when paired with a simpler sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like quick, neat handwriting on a note or card. Its buoyant loops and tall proportions convey a cheerful, easygoing character that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to capture a tidy, contemporary cursive note style—legible, upbeat, and expressive—while keeping strokes minimal and forms consistently narrow for a light, elegant presence.
Digit shapes match the same thin, rounded construction and keep a casual handwritten logic. The mix of open counters and narrow spacing produces a crisp, uncluttered line of text, while the tall extenders add distinctive texture in longer passages.
