A slanted cursive script with smooth, looping construction and a consistent, pen-like stroke. Letterforms lean forward with rounded terminals, open counters, and gently tapered joins that mimic continuous handwriting. Capitals are taller and more flourished than the lowercase, while the lowercase maintains a compact body with long ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm. Spacing feels airy and slightly irregular in a natural way, and numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, slightly curved forms.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, social posts, boutique branding, and light packaging copy. It can also work for headings and pull quotes where a flowing script texture adds warmth without overwhelming the layout.
The font reads as warm and approachable, like neat everyday handwriting with a touch of polish. Its soft curves and lively loops give it a personable, conversational tone, while the restrained stroke weight keeps it light and tidy rather than bold or dramatic.
Designed to capture the look of tidy cursive handwriting with consistent stroke behavior and decorative loops that add charm. The emphasis appears to be on a smooth reading rhythm and a friendly, expressive presence for display and accent typography.
Several characters show distinctive looped forms (notably in letters with bowls and descenders), giving words a continuous, flowing texture even when connections are subtle. The overall rhythm favors smooth curves over sharp angles, which helps maintain legibility in longer phrases while preserving a handcrafted feel.
