A lively handwritten script with rounded forms, modest stroke contrast, and a slightly brush-pen feel. Curves are soft and generously proportioned, with occasional tapered joins and small terminals that keep the rhythm moving. Letterforms vary in width and show gentle, natural irregularities, while remaining consistent enough for smooth word shapes. Uppercase characters are simple and upright with subtle swashes and loops, and the numerals are compact and informal with rounded bowls and curled terminals.
Well suited to short to medium text where an informal, human voice is desired—such as branding accents, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics. It also works nicely for headings and subheads paired with a simple sans for body text.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, with a buoyant, optimistic rhythm that reads like neat personal handwriting. Its looping details and soft curves add a playful charm without becoming overly decorative, making it feel personable and relaxed.
Designed to capture an easygoing cursive handwriting look with clean, rounded construction and enough consistency for repeated use in display and light text applications.
Connectivity is implied by cursive construction, but the forms keep clear separation and open counters that help recognition in mixed-case settings. The capitals stand out with larger gestures and occasional entry strokes, giving headings a more expressive, hand-signed feel.
