A lively handwritten script with a strong rightward slant, tall ascenders, and compact lowercase proportions. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with noticeable thick–thin modulation, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm that stays consistent across letters and figures. Letterforms are narrow and upright in footprint, with rounded bowls, open counters, and frequent looped joins; connections are loose rather than fully continuous, keeping word shapes legible while still feeling written. Numerals and capitals follow the same gestural logic, with simple, streamlined forms and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that add flow.
Works well for branding accents, packaging labels, social media graphics, invitations, and pull-quote styling where a personal voice is desired. It is especially effective at display sizes for short phrases, names, and headings, and can also serve as a secondary script paired with a clean sans for contrast.
The overall tone is personable and upbeat, balancing casual note-taking energy with a slightly refined, calligraphic finish. Its narrow, tall rhythm feels quick and conversational, while the contrast and smooth curves add a touch of polish suitable for modern lifestyle aesthetics.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of modern cursive handwriting while maintaining a consistent, repeatable rhythm suitable for digital typesetting. The narrow proportions, slant, and controlled contrast suggest an emphasis on graceful flow and compact word shapes for contemporary display use.
Caps tend to be taller and more gesture-driven than the lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy for initials and short headings. Spacing feels naturally irregular in a handwritten way, and the long ascenders/descenders can create attractive texture when lines are given a bit of leading.
