A slanted, handwritten-style italic with rounded terminals and a soft, brush-like stroke that stays relatively even in thickness. Forms are open and generously curved, with subtle flare on entry and exit strokes that suggests a quick pen or marker movement. Capitals are tall and slightly decorative, with occasional looped constructions (notably in C, G, Q) and smooth, calligraphic joins inside the letter shapes while remaining unconnected overall. Lowercase has a compact, readable structure with simple bowls and modest ascender/descender reach, and the numerals follow the same rounded, slightly swashy rhythm.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where an approachable handwritten voice is desired, such as packaging copy, boutique branding, invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics. The clear, rounded construction also makes it workable for subheads and display text in editorial or lifestyle contexts.
The overall tone feels personable and upbeat, like neat hand-lettering used to add charm without becoming overly formal. Its gentle swells and playful loops give it a retro, café-menu friendliness while still reading clearly in longer phrases.
Designed to mimic tidy, confident calligraphic handwriting: expressive enough to feel human and crafted, but controlled enough to remain legible in paragraph-like settings. The intention appears to balance charm and readability through rounded shapes, consistent slant, and lightly flourished capitals.
Rhythm is consistent across the alphabet, with a steady rightward lean and smoothly modulated curves that keep text flowing. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the distinctive looped/tailed capitals help headlines stand out without heavy ornamentation.
