A fluid handwritten script with a gently right-leaning rhythm and rounded, loop-driven forms. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness with subtle modulation at turns, producing a clean pen-like feel rather than a brushy texture. Letters are narrow with compact counters, and the lowercase shows a modest x-height with long, expressive ascenders and descenders that add vertical liveliness. Connections appear naturally in running text, while some capitals stand more independently, keeping a legible, informal structure.
Well-suited to short to medium-length text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—quotes, headings, cards, invitations, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for packaging callouts and social graphics, where the narrow footprint helps fit more words while still feeling informal.
The font reads warm and conversational, like quick, tidy note-taking with a bit of flair. Its looping joins and buoyant vertical strokes give it a light, upbeat tone that feels human and personable rather than formal or technical.
Designed to capture an easygoing cursive hand with reliable readability and a consistent, streamlined stroke. The narrow proportions and lively loops suggest an intention to feel personal and upbeat while staying controlled enough for repeated use in branding and display settings.
Capital shapes are simple and open, pairing well with the more connected lowercase. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded terminals and consistent stroke color, helping the set feel cohesive across mixed-content lines.
