A lively handwritten script with a smooth, monoline stroke and a gentle rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow overall, with elongated ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies that keep the rhythm quick and light. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, giving words a natural hand-drawn cadence with occasional pen-lift breaks. Rounded terminals, open bowls, and simple, single-storey lowercase shapes contribute to clarity, while the expressive capitals add flourish without heavy ornament.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a human touch is desired: brand accents, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, quotes, and social posts. It also works well for headings and display lines that benefit from tall, narrow lettering and a casual handwritten feel.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick notes, captions, and friendly signage. Its narrow, airy rhythm feels upbeat and approachable, with just enough flourish in the capitals to read as expressive rather than formal.
Designed to mimic quick, confident pen writing with clean strokes and a consistent rhythm, balancing legibility with a spontaneous, personal character. The narrow proportions and tall extenders suggest an intent to fit expressive handwritten words into tight horizontal spaces while still feeling lively.
Uppercase forms show more gesture and looping than the lowercase, creating a nice hierarchy for headlines. Numerals are similarly handwritten, slightly irregular in width, and match the same light, continuous stroke character.
