A slender, handwritten script with smooth, monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are lightly connected in running text, with frequent looped ascenders and descenders that create a soft, flowing rhythm. Curves dominate over angles, and proportions feel tall and narrow, giving words a vertical, slightly bouncy cadence. Numerals and capitals retain the same pen-drawn character, with simple forms and subtle irregularities that keep the texture human.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a personal, hand-written voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, and casual branding accents. It can also work for packaging callouts and headers where a light, friendly tone is more important than rigid uniformity.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like neat everyday handwriting. Its looping strokes and relaxed spacing lend a lighthearted, approachable feel that reads as personable rather than formal or technical. The font suggests warmth and ease, making content feel conversational.
Designed to capture the feel of tidy cursive handwriting with a consistent pen stroke and gentle looping forms. The intent appears to balance natural, hand-drawn charm with enough regularity to remain readable in common display and short-text settings.
Connections between letters appear selective rather than strictly continuous, which helps maintain clarity while preserving a natural handwritten flow. Descenders on letters like g, j, y, and p are prominent and contribute to the rhythmic baseline movement, while capitals have a simplified, hand-drawn presence that blends smoothly with lowercase text.
