A lively handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a buoyant baseline rhythm. Strokes show a calligraphic, marker-like behavior with visible contrast between thicker downstrokes and finer connecting strokes, plus rounded terminals and soft curves throughout. Letterforms lean mostly upright with frequent looped entries and exits, and spacing feels airy because of the narrow set and generous internal counters. Uppercase characters read as simple, single-stroke constructions with occasional flourished loops, while the lowercase maintains an informal, flowing continuity that stays legible in text.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a personal, handcrafted feel is desired—such as logos, boutique branding, labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It also suits pull quotes and headings when you want an informal, human tone and can give it adequate size and line spacing for the tall ascenders and loops.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a casual “written by hand” charm. Its bouncy loops and slightly whimsical construction give it an upbeat, personable voice suited to friendly messaging rather than formal editorial typography.
Designed to simulate quick, confident handwriting with consistent rhythm and friendly loops, balancing expressiveness with readability. The narrow, vertical build and contrasty stroke treatment suggest an aim for a neat, modern handwritten look that stays clear in headline settings.
Ascenders are notably tall and prominent, creating a vertical, elegant silhouette despite the informal script style. The numerals match the handwritten character, using simplified, curvy forms that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
