A monoline, handwritten script with a right-leaning rhythm and softly looped construction. Strokes stay even in thickness with rounded terminals and occasional tapered joins, producing an airy, unforced texture. Letterforms are generally compact and upright in their internal proportions, with tall ascenders/descenders and small lowercase bodies that create a light, vertical cadence. Connections are fluid in running text, and the set keeps an informal consistency while allowing natural variation typical of pen-written forms.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a personal touch is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social media graphics, and light lifestyle packaging. It works especially well at display and subhead sizes where the loops and joining strokes have room to breathe.
The font feels friendly and personal, like a neat note written quickly with a fine-tip pen. Its buoyant loops and open shapes give it an approachable, upbeat tone that reads as conversational rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic legible, everyday cursive with a tidy flow and minimal flourish, balancing charm with readability for casual communication and branding accents.
Capitals are simple and slightly stylized, pairing well with the lowercase without becoming overly decorative. Numerals are clean and handwritten in spirit, matching the same smooth, even stroke and relaxed spacing.
