A tall, handwritten script with slim, high-contrast strokes and an upright posture. Letterforms are built from smooth, pen-like curves with rounded terminals and occasional tapered joins, creating a light, airy texture. Proportions are narrow and vertical, with long ascenders/descenders and relatively small lowercase bodies, while capitals stay simple and single-stroke in feel. Connectivity is intermittent—many lowercase forms suggest cursive linking, but spacing and joins remain relaxed rather than continuously connected.
It works well for short to medium text where a personable, handmade voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, product packaging accents, social graphics, and pull quotes. The narrow, tall rhythm also suits tight horizontal spaces such as labels or small headers, where the light texture can stay readable.
The font conveys an approachable, cheerful tone with a breezy, personal rhythm, like neat handwriting used for notes and labels. Its slender build and gentle loops keep it light and upbeat, leaning more friendly than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, modern cursive handwriting with a narrow vertical rhythm and a lightly calligraphic contrast, balancing legibility with an informal, crafted feel.
Capitals read as clean, tall gestures that contrast with the more looped, lively lowercase. Numerals and punctuation keep the same handwritten logic, with simple curves and open shapes that maintain a consistent, uncluttered color across lines.
