A monoline handwritten script with an upright stance and a gently bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes are smooth and rounded with open counters, occasional looped entries/exits, and lightly tapered terminals that keep the texture airy. Capitals are tall and simple, often built from single continuous strokes, while lowercase forms mix connected and lightly separated behavior for a relaxed, note-like flow. Numerals follow the same informal drawing logic, staying clean and readable with minimal ornament.
This font suits short to medium-length text where a personal, handmade voice is desirable—greeting cards, quotes, invitations with a casual tone, social media graphics, and packaging or product labels. It can also work as an accent face paired with a clean sans for supporting information.
The overall tone feels friendly and conversational, like neat handwriting used for labels or quick messages. Its looping forms and soft curves give it a warm, upbeat character that reads as informal rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the charm of tidy, everyday cursive handwriting with consistent stroke weight and clear letterforms. The emphasis is on friendliness and readability, offering a natural, flowing script feel without heavy flourishes.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in the way handwriting is, producing a lively texture in longer lines of text. Ascenders and capitals stand out clearly, creating a pleasant vertical rhythm that helps headings feel energetic without becoming overly decorative.
