"HAPPY"
ANALYZE:
This is a script san serif typeface, all lower case that is made to look hand written. The entire word carries a consistent stroke weight, and the descender on the "y" comes way down past the descent line into the word below. All of the letters are connected to look written in cursive, except for the "p"'s. The stem of the "h" also descends much lower than the baseline, while the bowl of the "a" sits above it. The spurs on the first and last letter are exaggerated, almost to swashes.

DEFINE:
The handwritten style of the word plays on the actual word itself, looking playful and fun. It looks like it was handwritten in marker, and while the word sits relatively straight, most of the letters are off the baseline, playing up that feel.
COMMENT:
I really like the feel of this word, but the stem of the "h" really bothers me. It is supposed to look handwritten, but it almost looks like the letter "f".
