A flowing handwritten script with unconnected letterforms, built from rounded, looping strokes and softly tapered terminals. The forms lean gently and show a consistent, pen-like rhythm with open counters and buoyant curves. Capitals are decorative and prominent, with generous entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes, while lowercase stays compact and highly rounded for an even, steady texture. Numerals follow the same loopy construction, maintaining a cohesive, playful silhouette across the set.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters: greeting cards, invitations, children’s materials, craft and boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It also works nicely for headings and labels where a friendly, handmade impression is desired.
The overall tone is cheerful and personable, with a light, nostalgic charm. Its curly terminals and animated curves evoke handmade signage and storybook titling, reading as approachable rather than formal. The rhythm feels lively and slightly theatrical, adding character without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a lively, hand-drawn calligraphic feel that stays readable while emphasizing charm and individuality. It balances decorative capitals and rounded lowercase to provide a consistent, playful voice across titles and casual copy.
Spacing appears generous, helping the rounded shapes breathe in text. Several glyphs feature distinctive looped joins and curled terminals that create a recognizable texture, especially in capitals and in letters with ascenders/descenders.
