A lively handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and brush-like stroke behavior. Letterforms are compact and tall, with small lowercase bodies contrasted by long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, slightly bouncy rhythm. Strokes show subtle swelling at turns and terminals, with rounded joins, occasional hooked entries, and looped constructions in both upper- and lowercase. Spacing is intentionally irregular in a natural handwriting way, and the overall silhouette stays airy despite the condensed proportions.
Best suited for short display text where personality matters: posters, packaging callouts, event invites, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, but the compact lowercase and handwriting irregularities make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The font reads as informal and personable, like quick marker notes or a handwritten caption. Its looping energy and slight wobble add warmth and approachability, giving headlines a cheerful, human tone rather than a polished, corporate feel.
Designed to capture a quick, authentic handwritten feel with brush-pen energy and flowing cursive movement. The narrow, tall proportions and looped details aim to deliver an expressive signature-like voice while remaining legible in headline settings.
Capitals are simplified and gestural, often relying on single-stroke structures and open counters, which emphasizes speed and spontaneity. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and varied widths, keeping the set cohesive in mixed alphanumeric use.
