A cursive, handwritten script with a gentle rightward slant and a smooth, brush-pen rhythm. Strokes show subtle swelling at curves and terminals, with rounded joins and occasional tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light. Letterforms are compact and upright in their internal structure, with tall ascenders/descenders and small counters that create a tight, bouncy line. Capitals are simple and open, while lowercase forms lean on looped bowls and soft hooks; overall spacing feels close and continuous, supporting a flowing word shape rather than rigid alignment.
Well suited for short to medium-length copy where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social media graphics, and boutique packaging. It also works effectively for friendly branding accents and headlines, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The tone is warm and informal, like neat everyday handwriting. Its soft curves and buoyant cadence give it a cheerful, approachable personality that reads as personal and conversational rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to emulate tidy, flowing handwriting with enough consistency for repeated use, while preserving natural quirks in loops and terminals. The compact proportions and energetic slant prioritize expressive word shapes and a casual, personable presence.
The numerals and uppercase follow the same pen-drawn logic as the lowercase, maintaining consistent stroke energy and rounded terminals. Some letters show distinctive looped constructions and occasional exaggerated descenders, which adds character and movement in longer text.
