A slanted, monoline cursive with smooth, continuous strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a lively baseline rhythm and frequent loops in bowls and descenders. The capitals are larger and more flourishy than the lowercase, with generous entry/exit strokes that help words feel cohesive in running text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and open with a consistent stroke weight.
Well suited to short-to-medium phrases where an intimate, handwritten feel is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, packaging accents, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It works best at display sizes where the loops and joins remain clear and the energetic slant can carry the message.
The font reads as warm and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or card. Its flowing connections and soft curves give it a light, upbeat tone that feels informal and approachable rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to emulate a fluent handwritten script with consistent monoline strokes and an easy, connected writing rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on legibility in cursive text while preserving natural movement and a friendly, informal personality.
Connections between letters are generally smooth and continuous, while a few shapes introduce small breaks or lifted-stroke moments that add natural handwritten variety. The overall color stays even thanks to the low-contrast, pen-like stroke, making it feel tidy despite the expressive cursive motion.
