A flowing, handwritten script with a rightward slant and noticeable thick–thin modulation that suggests a flexible pen or brush. Strokes are rounded and slightly tapered at terminals, with smooth curves and frequent looped joins, giving the letterforms a bouncy rhythm. Proportions vary naturally from glyph to glyph, with tall ascenders/descenders and a comparatively small lowercase body, and the overall spacing feels open and airy rather than tightly connected throughout.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where personality is the priority—greeting cards, invitations, brand phrases, packaging callouts, and social graphics. It can also suit headings or pull quotes when set with generous spacing and paired with a restrained sans or serif for body text.
The tone is warm and conversational, like quick personal lettering with a touch of polish. Its lively curves and soft terminals read as upbeat and personable, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of cursive handwriting while keeping forms consistent enough for repeatable, readable display use. The combination of calligraphic contrast, looped structure, and varied proportions aims to deliver an expressive, personable voice for branding and headline settings.
Uppercase forms are simplified and signature-like, pairing well with the more looped lowercase for a mixed-case handwritten look. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and curved construction, maintaining the informal, drawn-by-hand character in longer text samples.
