A monoline handwritten script with rounded terminals and a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm. Strokes keep an even thickness with minimal contrast, and letterforms lean mostly upright while relying on soft curves and occasional loops for motion. Connection behavior is loose: many lowercase letters link smoothly in text, while capitals tend to stand more independently and read like drawn initials. Overall spacing is compact and the forms are narrow, with tall ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, hand-drawn silhouette.
This style fits best where a human, informal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social media, and lifestyle packaging. It also works well for short headlines or label-style text where the lively rhythm and loops can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is warm and approachable, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or casual signage. Its looping joins and relaxed construction feel personable and cheerful rather than formal or technical.
Designed to emulate quick, natural cursive writing with clean, consistent strokes and an easygoing cadence. The intent appears to be legible, friendly script lettering that feels handmade while remaining controlled enough for repeated use in display contexts.
Capitals have simplified, signature-like shapes that add character in headings, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, readable flow in short lines. Numerals are simple and handwritten in proportion, matching the same rounded, even-stroke feel as the letters.
