A light, handwritten cursive with a monoline-leaning stroke and gently varied pressure. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, rounded terminals, and frequent looped entries/exits that suggest a continuous pen movement even when characters don’t fully connect. Curves are open and springy, counters stay generous for the style, and spacing feels intentionally loose, giving the text a breezy rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same flowing, slightly irregular hand, with noticeable verticality and occasional extended swashes.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten feel is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, boutique packaging, and social media headers. It reads most confidently at display and subhead sizes, where the tall proportions and loops can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like neat, quick handwriting used for notes or invitations. Its tall, looping gestures add a touch of charm and romance without feeling formal or ceremonial, creating a lighthearted, approachable voice.
Designed to emulate a clean, modern cursive hand with elongated proportions and smooth, looped motion. The intent appears to balance legibility with expressive penmanship, delivering an informal script that feels light, contemporary, and friendly.
Capitals are prominent and more gestural than the lowercase, which can create a lively texture in title case. The slant and stroke flow are consistent across lines, but the natural hand-drawn irregularities keep it from feeling mechanical, especially in repeated shapes and joins.
