A lively cursive hand with smooth, looping strokes and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact counters and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage connection in running text. The stroke shows a pen-like modulation—thin turns and heavier downstrokes—while terminals stay rounded and slightly tapered, keeping the texture soft rather than sharp. Ascenders are prominent and the lowercase proportions sit low, giving words a tall, airy silhouette; numerals echo the same narrow, handwritten construction.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—such as greeting cards, boutique packaging, café menus, social graphics, and informal branding. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a neutral sans for headings, pull quotes, and signatures.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a lighthearted, informal energy. Its springy forms and generous loops suggest approachability and a handmade charm suited to upbeat messaging rather than strict formality.
Designed to mimic a neat, everyday cursive note with just enough contrast and looping detail to feel expressive. The intent appears to balance charm and legibility, offering a handwritten look that remains consistent across full sentences and mixed-case settings.
Capitals are simplified and flowing, designed to blend into cursive words without becoming overly ornate. Spacing appears comfortable for script text, and the uneven, human rhythm is consistent enough to read cleanly while still feeling hand-drawn.
