A lively handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and brush-pen-like, showing subtle tapering at entries and exits and occasional thickened downstrokes. Letterforms use simple, open shapes with rounded turns and long ascenders/descenders; many joins are implied rather than strictly continuous, giving the line a natural, written rhythm. Capitals are larger and more gestural, while lowercase stays compact with quick, narrow bowls and light crossbars.
Works best for short, expressive text such as logos, labels, quotes, invitations, and social graphics where the handwritten voice is the point. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a neutral sans or serif, especially in headings and pull quotes rather than long body copy.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick notes or a friendly signature. Its energetic loops and brisk rhythm add a playful, slightly whimsical character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the pace and spontaneity of modern handwriting while staying legible through open forms and consistent slant. The emphasis is on personality and rhythm—suggesting a quick brush or marker note—making it suited to warm, human-centered design.
The texture is intentionally uneven in a human way—stroke starts, terminals, and spacing vary slightly to preserve a hand-drawn feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, flowing construction and read like written figures rather than geometric set numbers.
