A monoline, handwritten script with a gentle rightward slant and a lively, bouncing baseline. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded terminals and frequent looped entries/exits that create a continuous, pen-drawn rhythm. Ascenders are tall and prominent while lowercase bodies stay small, and capitals are simplified and open with minimal ornament. Spacing is loose and natural, and the numerals follow the same single-stroke, handwritten logic for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to short-to-medium phrases where a personal, handwritten feel is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, captions, and lifestyle branding. It also works nicely on packaging or labels when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like neat quick handwriting on a note or invitation. Its flowing joins and soft curves give it a warm, approachable character, while the tall ascenders add a touch of elegance without becoming formal.
Designed to provide a clean, contemporary cursive that feels authentically hand-written while staying readable in common display and headline settings. The restrained contrast, smooth curves, and consistent stroke weight suggest an emphasis on easy, friendly communication rather than formal calligraphy.
Capitals read clearly as standalone initials, and the lowercase shows consistent joining behavior with occasional open joins that keep words from becoming overly dense. The design maintains legibility through open forms and restrained looping, even at longer text lengths.
