A lively handwritten script with a pronounced forward slant and looping constructions. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with heavier downstrokes and finer hairlines that create an airy, calligraphic texture. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and a compact lowercase body that keeps word shapes light while preserving rhythm. Terminals tend to be rounded or softly tapered, and the overall spacing feels slightly irregular in a natural, hand-drawn way; capitals are larger and more gestural, while numerals are simple, upright forms that echo the same contrast.
Well suited to short, expressive settings such as logos, boutique branding, product packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings where the tall, looped forms can be featured without crowding.
The font reads as warm and personable, with a breezy, upbeat character. Its looping joins and springy proportions give it a handwritten charm that feels informal and inviting rather than formal or corporate.
Designed to capture a modern brush-pen handwriting feel with an elegant, looping silhouette. The intent appears to balance casual friendliness with a slightly romantic, calligraphic polish for attention-grabbing display typography.
Connections appear frequent but not strictly continuous between every letter, producing a semi-joined flow that stays legible at display sizes. The dramatic ascenders/descenders and delicate joins add elegance, but the high contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will be most comfortable when given enough size and breathing room.
