A lively handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes show a brush-pen character with tapered terminals and occasional swelling in curves, creating an organic, drawn texture rather than mechanical consistency. Capitals are prominent and looped, with expressive entry/exit strokes; lowercase forms are open and simplified, with long ascenders/descenders and compact counters that keep the color light. Numerals echo the same informal construction with soft curves and slight irregularities that read as intentional hand lettering.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where its loops and tall proportions can breathe—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, product labels, and casual branding touchpoints. It also works well for headers and pull quotes when paired with a simple text face for body copy.
The overall tone is friendly and whimsical, with a breezy, personal feel that suggests quick but confident handwriting. Its narrow, springy shapes and looping details add charm and lightness, giving text a conversational, upbeat voice.
Designed to capture an informal, hand-lettered script look with expressive capitals and a light, airy rhythm. The focus appears to be personality and charm over strict uniformity, aiming for a friendly signature-like presence in display typography.
Word shapes are clear at display sizes, but the pronounced loops and tall extenders can create occasional visual tangles in dense settings. Spacing feels naturally uneven in a way that enhances the handmade impression, while the strong cap forms add emphasis in titles and short phrases.
