A flowing cursive script with a smooth, monoline stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are rounded and open, with soft terminals and frequent looped joins that create a continuous, handwritten rhythm. Capitals are simple and upright in construction yet still maintain the script’s connected feel, while ascenders and descenders are long and gently curved, giving lines a buoyant, elastic movement. Spacing is moderately loose for a script, helping maintain legibility in longer words, and numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, rounded shapes.
Well suited to friendly display and short-to-medium text where a personal touch is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, gift tags, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes, headings, and brand accents when paired with a simple sans for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like neat everyday handwriting. Its looping connections and light, easy stroke convey a cheerful, personable character that feels conversational rather than formal.
The font appears designed to capture tidy, modern cursive handwriting with smooth connections and minimal flourish, balancing expressive script qualities with practical readability in everyday design contexts.
The design keeps embellishment restrained—loops are present but not overly ornate—so words stay readable at typical text sizes. The baseline feel is slightly lively, and repeated strokes (like in m/n/u/v/w) create a steady, rhythmic texture in paragraphs.
