A light, handwritten cursive with a brush-pen feel and gently tapering terminals. Strokes are predominantly smooth and monolinear with occasional swelling at curves, creating a soft rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, while counters stay open for an airy texture. Capitals are more ornamental and lightly flourished, and the overall set keeps a consistent slant-free, upright posture with lively, slightly irregular curves typical of hand-drawn writing.
Works best for short display lines such as greeting cards, invitations, labels, and lifestyle packaging where a personal note is desired. It also suits social graphics and pull quotes, especially at medium to large sizes where the delicate strokes and loops remain clear.
The font reads as warm and informal, with a playful, homemade charm. Its looping joins and soft terminals give it a personable tone that feels approachable rather than formal or corporate.
Likely designed to mimic neat, contemporary handwriting with decorative capitals and gentle loops, balancing legibility with an expressive, personal cadence. The narrow, tall proportions and restrained contrast suggest an aim for elegant informality rather than bold script drama.
Some connections are implicit rather than tightly joined, so words can alternate between lightly connected and separated strokes depending on letter pairs. Rounded forms (like o/e) stay open and clean, while signature loops on letters such as g, y, and z add character that can become a focal point at display sizes.
