A relaxed handwritten script with smooth, monoline strokes and a gentle rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and occasional looped entries/exits that create a loose sense of connection without enforcing continuous joining. Capitals are simple and legible with understated flourish, while lowercase forms stay compact with small counters and a light, pen-drawn rhythm. Numerals follow the same informal, single-stroke feel, with soft curves and minimal geometric rigidity.
Well suited for short-to-medium text where a personal, conversational voice is desired, such as social posts, lifestyle branding, packaging accents, invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics. It also works nicely for headings and signature-style name treatments, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick notes written with a felt-tip pen. Its slightly bouncy rhythm and rounded forms give it a cheerful, informal character that feels human and unforced rather than polished or ceremonial.
Designed to capture an easygoing, everyday cursive look with straightforward readability and gentle flair. The intent appears to balance a natural handwritten feel with enough consistency to function reliably in display settings.
Stroke endings are mostly tapered or softly rounded, and curves remain smooth with minimal sharp terminals, reinforcing the hand-drawn impression. Spacing appears naturally uneven in a pleasing way, and the shapes maintain consistency across the alphabet while preserving small idiosyncrasies typical of handwriting.
