A lively, slanted script with smooth, brush-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms show gentle modulation and occasional thickened downstrokes, giving a drawn-with-a-pen rhythm rather than rigid calligraphy. Connections are mostly cursive in running text, with open counters and generous loops in ascenders/descenders; capitals are simple and upright-leaning with modest flourishes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and slightly irregular widths that keep the texture organic.
Well-suited for short to medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desirable—logos, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and highlighted phrases when paired with a simpler sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is warm and personable, reading like neat, upbeat handwriting. Its bouncy curves and looping joins create a cheerful, informal energy that feels welcoming rather than ceremonial.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual cursive writing while staying tidy and readable in composed lines. The restrained flourishes and consistent slant suggest a goal of everyday charm that performs reliably in modern display and lifestyle contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally compact, and the natural variation in letter widths adds movement across a line. The script remains legible at display sizes, with distinctive loop forms on letters like g, y, and f contributing to character without becoming overly ornate.
