A monoline, handwritten script with a tall, narrow skeleton and a gentle rightward slant. Strokes keep an even thickness with rounded terminals, producing a clean pen-drawn look. Letterforms are loosely connected with soft entry/exit strokes and occasional lifted joins, creating an open rhythm rather than a fully continuous script. Ascenders are notably tall and looped, bowls stay compact, and spacing feels slightly variable in a natural, hand-written way.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a warm, handwritten presence is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social posts, and boutique packaging or labels. It also works nicely for headings and highlighted phrases when you want a casual, personal tone without heavy texture.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, with a casual, diary-like charm. Its buoyant loops and relaxed rhythm give it a friendly, informal voice that feels approachable and slightly whimsical.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, contemporary handwriting with a simple pen line, balancing legibility with a relaxed, expressive flow. Its narrow proportions and looped ascenders suggest a focus on fitting lively script into compact spaces while keeping an easy, friendly personality.
Uppercase forms read like simplified, hand-rendered capitals that sit comfortably alongside the lowercase, making mixed-case text feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same narrow, airy construction and keep the same soft, rounded finishing, supporting an informal, handwritten texture.
