A casual handwritten script with a smooth, marker-like stroke and subtly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow overall proportions, long ascenders/descenders, and a notably small x-height that gives the lowercase a delicate, lifted feel. The rhythm is fluid and slightly bouncy, mixing connected cursive tendencies with occasional breaks, while uppercase forms are simplified and loop-forward for quick, natural signing. Curves are open and airy, counters stay clear, and contrast comes mostly from natural stroke pressure rather than sharp thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a human touch is desired: logos and small brand marks, product packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, quotes, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for headings, captions, and signatures, especially where a narrow, vertical footprint helps fit more words into limited space.
The font reads personable and informal, like neat journaling or a quick note written with confidence. Its looping shapes and lively verticality add a playful, upbeat tone without feeling overly decorative.
Designed to capture the look of an everyday cursive hand—quick, legible, and expressive—while keeping consistent stroke behavior and spacing for dependable typesetting. The tall, narrow proportions and small x-height appear intended to emphasize elegance and lightness within a friendly handwritten voice.
Uppercase letters lean toward single-stroke, handwritten constructions, helping the set feel cohesive with the lowercase. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic—simple, narrow, and rounded—making them blend well in casual text settings.
