A lively, right-slanted handwriting script with a brush-pen feel and visibly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a notably small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and a bouncy baseline that gives lines an energetic rhythm. Strokes show natural pressure variation and slight texture, with occasional joins and soft, open counters that keep the texture from getting too dense. Uppercase forms are simplified and gestural, while lowercase shapes lean on looped entries and exits and compact, quick curves.
Best suited for short to medium text where personality is the goal—logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, posters, social graphics, and quote-style headlines. It can also work for invitations or greeting-style applications, especially when ample size and line spacing preserve its airy loops and stroke texture.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick marker notes or a spontaneous signature. Its animated slant and looping forms feel upbeat and approachable, with a crafted, human touch rather than polished formality.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident hand lettering with brush-like modulation and a relaxed, contemporary script rhythm. The narrow, tall proportions and small x-height emphasize elegance and motion while keeping the texture light and expressive.
Spacing appears somewhat irregular in a natural handwritten way, and the narrow proportions can create a brisk, compact word color at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same brushy, slightly irregular construction, pairing well with the alphabet for casual headings and short phrases.
