A lively handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a narrow, upright rhythm. Strokes look inked and slightly brushy, with subtle pressure changes that create tapered entries and fuller downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and airy, with small lowercase bodies relative to prominent ascenders and descenders, and rounded bowls that stay compact. Connections are frequent but not rigidly continuous, and the baseline gently wavers, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand texture.
Works best for short to medium-length text where personality matters: greeting cards, invitations, product packaging, café menus, posters, and social media graphics. It can also serve well for quotes, headings, and branding accents when a human, informal voice is desired.
The tone feels friendly and personal, like quick notes or captions written with a felt tip or brush pen. Its looping forms and elastic spacing lend a whimsical, lightly nostalgic character that reads as approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural handwriting—tall, narrow, and fluid—while remaining legible in display settings. The intent appears to be a personable script with enough irregularity to feel authentic, but with consistent slant and proportions for repeatable typography.
Uppercase letters have a simple, handwritten construction that blends comfortably into mixed-case words, while lowercase forms carry most of the cursive motion. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, keeping a consistent slant and narrow footprint. Overall color stays light and open, with occasional stroke roughness that adds authenticity.
