A monoline, handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes are smooth and rounded with frequent loops on ascenders and capitals, and terminals often finish in soft hooks or small curls. Letterforms show gentle variation in width and spacing, creating an organic texture while remaining consistent enough for continuous reading. Capitals are prominent and decorative, with simple swashes that add height without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text such as headings, greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, and lifestyle packaging where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for small accents like labels or captions when ample spacing is available.
The overall tone is personable and upbeat, like neat marker or pen lettering used for notes and titles. Its looping forms and generous verticality give it a playful, storybook-like charm while staying clean and approachable.
This font appears designed to capture a polished, everyday cursive look—expressive and personable, but restrained enough to stay legible across common display applications. The tall proportions and looping capitals suggest an emphasis on charm and recognizability in titles and names.
In text, the joins between letters appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, which keeps the texture light and reduces visual tangling in dense words. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, rounded shapes and occasional looped strokes that match the capitals’ flourish level.
