A narrow, right-leaning handwritten script with a brush-pen feel and gently modulated stroke width. Letters are built from smooth, continuous curves with occasional entry/exit flicks and rounded terminals, creating a lively rhythm across words. The uppercase set is taller and more gestural, with some looped forms and long ascenders, while the lowercase stays compact with a modest x-height and clear, simple counters. Spacing is airy but irregular in a natural way, and numerals follow the same handwritten logic with soft, rounded shapes.
Works well for short to medium display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—social graphics, invitations, greeting cards, packaging accents, and quote layouts. It is best used at sizes where the narrow forms and lively connections remain clear, and paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The font reads as warm and approachable, like neat personal handwriting with a bit of flourish. Its narrow, energetic flow gives it a contemporary, crafty tone that feels informal rather than ceremonial.
Designed to emulate quick, confident cursive writing with a brush-like stroke, balancing legibility with expressive loops and a flowing, contemporary cadence.
Stroke joins and curves suggest a single-pen movement, with slight variations in thickness and pressure at turns. Some capitals and lowercase letters show distinctive loops and elongated strokes that add personality and momentum in longer phrases.
