A tall, loop-forward cursive with a slender silhouette and lively stroke rhythm. Letterforms lean consistently and rely on elongated ascenders/descenders, giving lines a vertical, airy texture even in dense text. Strokes show a pen-like contrast with tapered entries and exits, plus occasional swell on curves, while terminals stay soft and rounded. Spacing is compact but not rigid, and the overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, reinforcing the handwritten character.
Works well for short- to medium-length display text where a warm handwritten feel is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, and lifestyle packaging. It can also support headings or accents in branding systems when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick, neat handwriting used for notes or invitations. Its looping forms and gentle irregularities feel upbeat and approachable rather than formal or austere.
Designed to mimic quick, elegant penmanship with a light touch—prioritizing flow, charm, and personality over strict typographic regularity. The tall proportions and looping strokes aim to create a distinctive signature-like presence in display settings.
Uppercase characters are simple and legible with restrained flourishes, while lowercase forms carry most of the movement through loops and long extenders. Numerals match the cursive voice, keeping the same slender, handwritten cadence and open counters.
