A monoline handwritten script with a tidy, upright stance and a gently bouncy rhythm. Strokes are smooth and pen-like, with rounded terminals, occasional looped joins, and subtle stroke wobble that preserves a natural hand-drawn feel. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with simplified construction, while lowercase letters use compact bowls and frequent ascenders/descenders that create a lively vertical texture. Spacing is slightly irregular in an intentional way, and widths vary by character, helping words feel organic rather than mechanically uniform.
Well suited to invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics where an easygoing handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for packaging accents, café-style menus, product tags, and social media headings, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, combining neatness with a light, playful energy. Its looping details and buoyant letterforms suggest personal notes, crafty labeling, and informal branding where a human touch is important.
Designed to emulate neat, everyday cursive handwriting with an intentionally imperfect, personable finish. The proportions favor tall capitals and lively extenders to add charm and movement in short phrases and display settings.
Readability stays strong at display and short-text sizes thanks to clear silhouettes and consistent stroke weight, though the small lowercase bodies and tall extenders can make dense paragraphs feel busy. Numerals match the handwritten character with open curves and simple, rounded construction.
