A lively cursive with a brush-pen feel, built from tapered strokes and crisp, high-contrast thick–thin transitions. Letterforms are tall and slender with compact counters and a generally open, flowing rhythm; many lowercase shapes lean into long ascenders and descenders with soft, looping terminals. Connections are suggested by the cursive construction, while stroke joins vary slightly in width, giving the line a natural, handwritten irregularity. Capitals are simplified and narrow, mixing straight stems with occasional rounded entries for a clean but personal silhouette.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy such as headlines, invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, and branding accents. It can work well on packaging and social posts where an energetic, handwritten voice is desired and the letterforms have room to breathe.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick, confident handwriting made with a flexible pen. Its bouncy proportions and looping details read as approachable and lightly whimsical rather than formal or calligraphically strict.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of cursive handwriting with a flexible-pen contrast, prioritizing personality and flow over strict uniformity. The tall, slim build and looping terminals aim to create an elegant yet casual script texture that stands out in display use.
Spacing appears airy in longer text due to the narrow forms and frequent vertical emphasis, while the pronounced stroke contrast creates strong texture at headline sizes. Numerals and some lowercase letters show individualized, hand-drawn quirks that add charm but can increase visual busyness in dense settings.
