A lively cursive script with a rightward slant, rounded terminals, and smooth, brush-pen-like curves. Strokes show subtle modulation and occasional swelling on curves, creating a soft, organic rhythm without sharp contrast. Letterforms are compact with relatively short lowercase proportions, prominent ascenders, and generous loops in characters like g, j, y, and z. Overall spacing and shapes feel intentionally uneven in a natural way, giving the alphabet a gently variable, handwritten cadence while remaining clearly legible in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short to medium display copy where personality is desired—greeting cards, invitations, boutique branding, labels and packaging, social posts, and headers. It can also work for quotes or light editorial callouts when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, like neat personal handwriting used for notes, invitations, and friendly signage. Its looping forms and buoyant baseline movement give it a relaxed, cheerful character that feels informal rather than ceremonial.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, confident cursive writing with a polished, reusable consistency. The aim appears to be a versatile everyday script that remains readable while emphasizing warmth and handcrafted charm.
Uppercase forms read as simplified handwritten capitals that pair smoothly with the lowercase, and many joins imply a connected writing motion even when letters are shown individually. Numerals match the script’s rounded, hand-drawn style, with soft curves and open forms that suit display use.
