A delicate handwritten cursive with thin, mostly monoline strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and loosely constructed, with narrow bodies, generous vertical reach, and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, and many shapes use soft loops and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes; capitals are especially expressive with oversized curves and occasional cross-strokes. Spacing feels irregular in a natural way, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand cadence rather than rigid typographic uniformity.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, headers, pull quotes, and product packaging where a personal, handwritten feel is desirable. It works best at display sizes where the loops, tall proportions, and fine strokes remain clear and contribute to a lively typographic voice.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like quick notes, invitations, or journaling with a fine pen. Its tall, looping forms and animated capitals give it a whimsical, slightly quirky charm that reads as informal and friendly rather than formal or technical.
Designed to evoke natural pen handwriting with a relaxed flow and expressive capitals, prioritizing charm and individuality over strict regularity. The forms aim for an airy, elegant gesture while staying casual enough for everyday, friendly messaging.
Capitals show the strongest personality, with large gesture-driven forms (notably rounded letters like C, O, Q) that can dominate a line. Numerals follow the same airy, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional curls. At smaller sizes the thin strokes and high vertical proportions may emphasize texture over crisp readability, while larger sizes showcase the expressive loops and rhythm.
