A loose, handwritten script with a brush-pen feel: strokes are smooth and slightly tapered, with rounded joins and soft terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, while the lowercase bodies stay relatively small, creating a high, airy vertical rhythm. The texture is lively and organic, with subtle irregularities in stroke width and curvature that keep it from feeling mechanically uniform. Capitals are simple and gestural, and many lowercase shapes include modest loops and entry/exit strokes that suggest cursive connection without forcing strict continuous joining in every instance.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where an informal handwritten tone is desirable—packaging labels, café menus, event invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also add a personal touch to pull quotes or section headers, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its narrow, tall rhythm feels energetic and a bit quirky, giving headlines a personable, informal voice rather than a polished corporate one.
Designed to mimic natural cursive writing with a quick brush-pen stroke, balancing legibility with an expressive, handmade texture. The tall, narrow silhouettes and looping details aim to deliver character and momentum in display settings while keeping forms recognizable.
The narrow proportions and compact lowercase make the font feel light on the page, while the tall verticals and occasional long swashes add emphasis and movement. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and slight slant that match the text rhythm.
