A light, monoline cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and gently bouncy baseline. Strokes are smooth and rounded with narrow joins, soft terminals, and occasional looped forms in capitals and ascenders/descenders. The lowercase is compact with small counters and short interior proportions, while capitals are taller and more gestural, often built from single continuous strokes. Spacing reads slightly open for a script, helping letterforms stay distinct even when connections are implied rather than fully joined.
Well-suited for short to medium-length phrases where a human, informal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social media captions, labels, and lifestyle packaging. It works best at display sizes where the delicate strokes and loop details remain clear.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its airy stroke weight and looping gestures add a lighthearted, approachable feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate tidy, modern cursive handwriting with a light touch, balancing legibility with expressive loops and a lively slanted rhythm for friendly display typography.
In text, the rhythm alternates between connected and lightly separated joins, creating a handwritten cadence rather than a strictly continuous script. Numerals and capitals keep the same pen-like logic, with simple, rounded shapes that match the informal flow.
