A flowing handwritten cursive with a smooth, monoline stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and lightly built, with rounded joins, frequent loops, and long, tapered entry/exit strokes that create an easy rhythm in words. Capitals are taller and more gestural than the lowercase, often starting with sweeping leading strokes; many lowercase forms keep a simple, single-storey construction with open bowls and compact proportions. Numerals follow the same pen-drawn logic, using soft curves and minimal angularity for a cohesive text color.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal voice is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for packaging accents, labels, and social graphics, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting copy.
The overall tone feels informal and approachable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its light, looping motion gives it a cheerful, conversational quality that reads as personal and contemporary rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the look of clean, flowing handwriting with a consistent pen stroke and a lively cursive cadence. The forms prioritize friendliness and momentum, aiming for quick recognition in phrases while keeping an airy, understated presence.
Connectivity is implied through extended terminals and close spacing even when letters are not fully joined, which helps phrases feel continuous. The narrow proportions and delicate strokes keep the texture light on the page, while the energetic capitals add emphasis for headings and short statements.
