A lively cursive script with a brush-pen feel and a right-leaning rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtly rounded terminals and occasional thickening at turns, giving a soft, drawn-by-hand texture. Letterforms favor tall ascenders and compact lowercase bodies, with generous loops in capitals and select lowercase (notably f, g, y, and z) that create a flowing, bouncy baseline. Connections are implied more than strictly continuous, producing a natural, handwritten cadence while keeping counters open and forms legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display text where its loops and motion can be appreciated—logos, product packaging, invitations, quotes, social posts, and poster headlines. It can also work for subhead accents paired with a neutral sans or serif, especially when you want a casual, human touch.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes, labels, and friendly headlines. It reads energetic and upbeat rather than formal, with expressive capitals that add a touch of charm and spontaneity.
Designed to capture the look of quick brush handwriting with expressive capitals and a light, airy texture. The emphasis appears to be on personality and motion over strict calligraphic precision, aiming for an approachable script that feels contemporary and hand-made.
Capitals are especially decorative, with swashy entry strokes and rounded bowls that stand out in short words and initials. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slightly angled shapes that match the script’s rhythm and stroke endings.
