A lively handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes look brush- or pen-driven, with quick tapers, occasional swell-and-thin transitions, and slightly irregular stroke endings that keep the texture human. Letterforms are mostly unconnected but flow as if written in one motion, relying on smooth curves, open bowls, and long ascenders/descenders; capitals are larger and more expressive, while lowercase stays compact with small counters. Spacing is rhythmic and slightly elastic, and numerals match the informal, handwritten construction.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos and boutique branding, packaging callouts, social posts, greeting cards, invitations, and pull quotes. It works best when given breathing room so the tall proportions and loops can remain clear.
The overall tone feels breezy and personable, balancing a relaxed note-taking informality with a touch of polished flourish. Its looping gestures and springy rhythm read as upbeat and welcoming rather than formal or austere.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a refined, brushy finish—prioritizing personality and motion over strict uniformity. The emphasis on tall forms, expressive capitals, and flowing curves suggests an intention to add warmth and charm to headlines and signature-style text.
Several glyphs show distinctive, calligraphic-like entry and exit strokes that create a consistent forward movement across words. The set maintains a coherent hand despite natural variation in stroke length and curve tension, which adds authenticity in display sizes.
