A flowing handwritten script with a right-leaning, italic posture and a smooth, low-contrast (nearly monoline) stroke. Letterforms are notably wide and loop-driven, with generous horizontal movement, rounded terminals, and frequent entry/exit swashes that help words feel connected even when individual letters are discrete. The overall rhythm is bouncy and informal, with simplified interior counters and a soft, marker-like finish that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short to medium-length display use where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, packaging callouts, posters, quotes, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for larger-size subheads when you want an informal, personal tone and ample horizontal space.
The tone is relaxed and personable, like quick but confident pen lettering. Its broad, sweeping forms and looping joins give it a playful, slightly retro feel that reads as expressive rather than formal.
Designed to emulate broad, looped penmanship with a smooth, continuous feel and prominent swashes, prioritizing personality and motion over strict regularity. The wide stance and connected rhythm aim to create distinctive word silhouettes for expressive display typography.
Capitals tend to be especially expansive and signature-like, often using long cross-strokes and open loops that create strong word shapes. Numerals follow the same rounded, handwritten logic and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase in texture.
