A lively handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear brush-pen behavior: tapered entries and exits, occasional heavier downstrokes, and smooth curved joins that keep words flowing. Uppercase forms are expressive and sometimes looped, with generous ascenders and descenders that add vertical drama while maintaining a consistent rhythm. Spacing feels open and airy, and the overall texture is light on the page with crisp, confident curves.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where personality matters—logos, product labels, café menus, social posts, and event stationery. It works especially well for headings and highlighted phrases, and can pair nicely with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The tone is warm and personable, like quick but careful handwriting used for notes, invitations, or boutique branding. Its looping capitals and buoyant rhythm give it a cheerful, slightly whimsical character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate fluid brush handwriting with an elegant, elongated silhouette and expressive capitals, aiming for a modern, personable script that reads quickly while still feeling bespoke.
Several capitals feature distinctive swashes and loopbacks, which can create a strong signature look at the start of words. Numerals match the handwritten style with simple, rounded constructions and minimal fuss, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
