A lively handwritten script with mostly unjoined, pen-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. The forms are narrow and slightly irregular, with a bouncy baseline, compact bowls, and occasional looped entries/exits that give the letters a quick, drawn-on-paper feel. Stroke weight stays fairly even overall, with subtle modulation at curves and joins; counters are open and simplified for an informal rhythm. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while lowercase bodies remain comparatively small, creating a distinctive vertical cadence in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten tone is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, brand accents, packaging labels, social graphics, and pull quotes. It performs best at moderate to large sizes where the delicate stroke texture and looping details can remain clear.
The font reads as personable and upbeat, like neat handwriting meant to feel warm rather than formal. Its looping gestures and uneven rhythm add charm and spontaneity, making it feel conversational and lighthearted.
Likely drawn to emulate tidy, expressive handwriting with a script-like flow—prioritizing charm and personality over strict geometric consistency. The design aims to provide an informal, approachable voice for display settings while keeping letterforms recognizable and easy to scan.
Uppercase letters lean toward simple, handwritten caps with occasional calligraphic hooks, while lowercase includes noticeable loops in letters like g, y, and z and single-storey constructions throughout. Numerals share the same hand-drawn logic, with rounded shapes and a casual, slightly uneven texture that stays consistent across the set.
