A light, monoline handwritten script with a tidy, upright posture and gently rounded terminals. Strokes keep an even thickness and move with a smooth, slightly bouncy rhythm, mixing simple print-like structures with cursive joins. Capitals are narrow and loop-forward with occasional flourishes, while lowercase forms use small bowls and compact counters with frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage connection. Numerals follow the same pen-drawn logic, staying simple and open with soft curves rather than rigid geometry.
Well suited to short-to-medium phrases where a personable handwritten voice is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social media graphics. It also works as an accent on packaging, labels, and lifestyle branding when paired with a calmer text face for long reading.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, like quick neat handwriting in a notebook. Its looping gestures and buoyant spacing give it a cheerful, approachable character that reads as personal rather than corporate.
Designed to capture a clean, legible handwriting feel with light, even strokes and gentle cursive flow. The intention appears to balance charm and readability by keeping forms simple while adding selective loops and swashes for personality.
Connections between letters are implied by consistent entry/exit strokes, but the set retains a hand-drawn irregularity in widths and join lengths that keeps the texture lively. Ascenders and descenders are prominent compared to the compact lowercase bodies, adding a graceful vertical swing in words.
